Francis Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald were the "golden couple" of the Jazz Age, the embodiment of the "Lost Generation," a quintessential part of that legendary era, constant subjects of gossip columns and high-profile scandals. It is generally accepted that the possessor of a talent "as natural as the pollen pattern on a butterfly's wings" (as Hemingway put it) wrote his masterpieces while Zelda, meanwhile, tried to become a star of Diaghilev's ballet; that he earned fortune after fortune, but all the money went toward her upkeep in expensive psychiatric clinics; and that the story of their dramatic relationship formed the basis for his famous book, Tender Is the Night. In fact, Zelda got there first: her groundbreaking novel, Save the Waltz for Me, based on the same autobiographical material, was published, much to her husband's dismay, two years earlier. Decades later, rumors began swirling that her husband had not hesitated to use her diaries and notebooks verbatim in his work. Regardless, Save the Waltz for Me, with its story of American coming-of-age and the European ordeals of the eccentric beauty Alabama Knight and her artist husband, remains a remarkable document of a brilliant era.
