'Tender is the Night'

F. Scott Fitzgerald moved to the Baltimore area in 1932 in order to put his wife, Zelda, into psychiatrict care. There he began work on the novel that would become Tender is the Night.

The book itself is a amalgamation of a bunch of different ideas in addition to being semi-autobiographical. Fitzgerald himself entered into a relationship with a young starlet when he went to Hollywood to write screenplays.

He had also hospitalized Zelda in Switzerland due to mental illness. In 1932, she had published the semi-autobiographical Save Me the Waltz. Two years later, Fitzgerald hit back with Tender is the Night.

Fitzgerald died in 1940 after not seeing Zelda for about 18 months. Tender is the Night is the last novel that he'd complete.
