The Beautiful and Damned, first published by Scribner's in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel.
It portrays the Eastern elite during the Jazz Age, exploring New York Café Society.
As in Fitzgerald's other novels, the characters are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy.
The book is believed to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with Zelda Fitzgerald.
The Beautiful and Damned tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1910s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, his relationship with his wife, Gloria, his service in the army, and his alcoholism.
