  This Side of Paradise is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920
  The book examines the lives and morality of carefree American youth at the dawn
  of the Jazz Age. Its protagonist Amory Blaine is an attractive middle-class student
  at Princeton University who dabbles in literature and engages in a series of
  romances with flappers. The novel explores the theme of love warped by greed and
  status seeking, and takes its title from a line of Rupert Brooke's poem Tiare Tahiti.
  Within months of its publication, This Side of Paradise became a cultural sensation
  in the United States, and reviewers hailed the work as the best novel of the
  decade. The novel became especially popular among college students, and the
  national press depicted its boyish author as the standard-bearer for youth in
  revolt. Overnight, the novel's author F. Scott Fitzgerald became a household
  name. Fitzgerald's newfound fame enabled him to earn much higher rates for his
  short stories, and his increased financial prospects persuaded his reluctant fiancée
  Zelda Sayre to marry him.
