This Side of Paradise overflows with youthful ambition, heartbreak, and the restless energy of the Jazz Age. Its characters are cynics and social climbers. It's a novel heavy with individuals who live for the thrill of the moment, only to find themselves lost in its aftermath.
We see reckless socialites and ruthless pragmatic debutantes drink and dance their way through the 20s. We see idealistic poets, overprivileged Ivy League intellectuals and disillusioned philosophers. And as is always the case with Fitzgerald, we are confronted with 'high' society's slightly more seedy side: we meet the chorus girls.
This literary t-shirt is perfect for fans of Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age fiction and its host of entirely unforgettable characters.
