I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again.
Written to impress Zelda Sayre, This Side of Paradise follows the life of young Midwesterner Amory Blaine from his secondary education to his days at Princeton to his time serving in the war and finally, back home after the war. A precursor to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tumultuous and famous relationship with Zelda, his first book contains many figures representing real people who had influenced him at some time in his young life. This Side of Paradise perfectly represents a time that first welcomed the roaring twenties and the flamboyance and excess that would quickly follow.
