Fitzgerald, F. ScottTender is the Night. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934 8vo. With decorations by Edward Shenton. Original dark bluish green cloth (linen-like grain). Jacket with blurbs by Clum, Seldes and Rawlings on front flap; very good with some wear at extremities and paper repairs on verso. First edition, first printing in the second state jacket. Fitzgerald began Tender is the Night in 1925, the same year The Great Gatsby was published. He know he had written an important book with Gatsby, but thought that his success hinged at the follow-up. By the time he had finished Tender in 1933, however, his life had taken several torturous turns: Zelda's breakdown and the onset of the Great Depression darkened Fitzgerald's sensibilities, a shift which became evident in portions of the book.&nbsp; REFERENCESBruccoli A14.I.a
