The Beautiful and Damned, first published by Scribner's in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel. It explores and portrays New York café society and the American Eastern elite during the Jazz Age before and after the Great War in the early 1920s. As in his other novels, Fitzgerald's characters in this novel are complex, materialistic and experience significant disruptions in respect to classism, marriage, and intimacy. The work generally is considered to be based on Fitzgerald's relationship and marriage with his wife Zelda Fitzgerald. The Beautiful and Damned tells the story of Anthony Patch in 1910s New York, a socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune; his complicated marriage to Gloria Gilbert; the couple's troubling experience with wealth and status; his brief service in the Army during World War I; and Anthony and Gloria's journey through alcoholism and partying. Gloria and Anthony's story deals with the hardships of a relationship, especially when they are each pitted against the other's selfish attitudes. Once the couple's infatuation with each other fades, they begin to see their differences that do more harm than good, as well as leaving each other with some unfulfilled hopes. From Wikipedia

Born into rich families, Anthony and Gloria Patch lead a comfortable life in 1920s New York.
Shortly their luxurious lifestyle and Anthony´s lack of motivation to work a job for more than a couple of months causes them financial difficulty. Soon they find themselves reliant on Anthony´s inheritance, which seems increasingly improbable as the relationship with his grandfather deteriorates even more. Discontent with their situation, the couple descends into alcoholism.
In my opinion this book was very interesting. The characters are supposed to be unlikeable and make questionable decisions. They don´t lack in complexity. Fitzgerald´s writing is also very beautiful and descriptive.
