F. Scott Fitzgerald

Geoff Dyer

Anthony and Gloria are the essence of Jazz Age glamour. A brilliant and magnetic couple, they fling themselves at life with an energy that is thrilling. Their marriage is a passionate theatrical performance; they are young, rich, alive and lovely and they intend to inherit the earth. But as money becomes tight, their marriage becomes impossible.

It seemed a tragedy to want nothing-and yet he wanted something, something. 

" …Beautiful things grow to a certain height and then they fail and fade off, breathing out memories as they decay. And just as any period decays in our minds, the things of that period should decay too, and in that way they’re preserved for a while in the few hearts like mine that react to them…”

I shall go on shining as a brilliantly meaningless figure in a meaningless world.
