Mi sono svegliata stamani e il sole era posato sul tavolo come un pacchetto di compleanno, così l’ho aperto e tante cose felici sono uscite svolazzando nell’aria…

Ti amo moltissimo e tu mi hai telefonato.

Ho camminato su quei fili del telefono per due ore, dopo aver preso in mano il tuo amore come un parasole per tenermi in equilibrio.

"I love you,

And thats the

Beginning

And end

Of everything."

Ok so here's my take on it, we've been talking about clara bow but we forget about our other dear flapper girl: Zelda Fitzgerald, her glorious flapper days and her absolutely gut wretching tragic ending.

Not only did Zelda have to see Scott using inserts from her personal diaries become huge and famous quotes on Scott's books (without crediting her) but we're also talking about how a southern girl, a ballerina from a really small town who fell in love with a soldier (aspiring author) was brought to the biggest city in the world without her friends, her family, anyone familiar enough to hold her - despite Scott, who wouldve become a alcoholic writer who can't succeed withou his wife words let alone admit this for a fact. His jealousy over her writing and her naturally catching his spotlight and overshadowing him - Ending with Ernest Hemingway saying how she's the reason Scotts writing had declined, when she was the core of everything he have ever wrote.

“It seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald (I believe that is how he spells his name) seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.” - Zelda for The New York Tribune.

Her soul and her life we're devoured. To this day she's portrayed as a crazy hysterical southern little girl that was always behind Scott - And not ahead of him, as she always were. Fitzgerald could never support Zelda, even though she was a carrier of many talents, a dancer, writer and painter exhaustingly discouraged by her troubled partner who couldn't see her thrive beyond him. She was trapped.

1930's - Zelda is admitted to her first psychiatric hospital

She would've allegedly be in and out of then after being diagnosed with schizophrenia, her mental health took a fallout after her dad passed away and Scott leaved her to go to Hollywood by himself. But even then, in the psychiatric hospitalbshe wrote.

To steady myself I wrote, I wrote, I wrote. — Z: SAYRE, Zelda

Zelda wrote her autobiographical novel, Save Me The Waltz. Scott would then proceed to disaprove as he was planning to use HER writing again in tender is the night, forcing Zelda to edit out the parts he wanted to be in his book - Which led to a hollow disconnected version of the book, being severely criticized, even from him, her own husband calling her a "third rate writer" and accusing her of his own crimes - plagiarism.

She tried writing again after Scott's passing, but her poor aching body was left to death as a fire bursted in her hospital, while she was waiting for shock therapy.

But let's remind her for how she lived fully, how she bled art as her veins were ink - her diaries and letters prove that. How beautifully she arranged words and how easily it flowed through her cursive letter. Let her be reminded for who she was and who she ceaselessly tried to be - despite all she was given to deal with. Despite all she was unapologetically Zelda Sayre.

I’m absolutely nothing without you - just the doll that I should have been born.

The pajamas you sent me are the most adorably moon-shiny things on earth—I feel like a Vogue cover in 'em—but I feel sure I'll never be able to keep off the streets in 'em. It feels like a cloud and looks like a dream— thanks, darling.

The Romantic Egoist

Fitzgerald, F. Scott

This Side of Paradise. New York: Scribner's, 1920

8vo. Publisher's green cloth; spine cracked, spine ends a little rubbed.

First edition, with an autograph letter signed on Scribner's stationery by Fitzgerald to W.E. Hill, the designer of the dust jacket, tipped in at front: "... If my book was half as good as you're [sic] cover I'd sell a million copies."

Fitzgerald’s debut portrait of the Jazz Age’s Lost Generation featured the themes that the author would return to and perfect: that of doomed romance among differing classes and love lost among the endless pursuit of upward social status.

He wrote the book in his parent's house on Summit Ave in St Paul, hoping that the proceeds from its sale would allow him to marry the southern socialite, Zelda Sayre. Receiving news that the book was to be published by Charles Scribner he ran out into the street to tell the passing cars.

The book was published in 3,000 copies on 26 March 1920 and its immediate success launched Fitzgerald’s career. By the end of the next year the novel had been reprinted 12 times and sold nearly 50,000 copies.

Zelda Fitzgerald

a flapper, a muse, an author, an icon in her own right; Zelda Fitzgerald is the prototype for the lunatic woman.

Born in Montgomery, Alabama, Zelda (Sayre) was known in her youth for her beauty and high spirits. From an early age she was rebellious, curious about art, intelligent. Zelda had a desire to challenge the norm.

In 1918 when Zelda was 18 she met F. Scott (22). The two began to write each other regularly and Zelda instantly became F. Scott's muse as he based many of his lady love interests after her.

In 1920, Zelda married author F. Scott Fitzgerald after the success of his debut novel This Side of Paradise. They were both launched to celebrity status.

The two were known for their antics and incessant partying. They would often get belligerently drunk and gallivant around what ever city they were in, causing as many public disturbances as possible along the way. The two spent money faster than they could make it, on lavish things. Their lives were like a swinging pendulum from poverty to opulent wealth.

But Zelda was an artist in her own right and it is said that her husband owed much of his success to her as well. She was dynamic, poetic, and savvy. She was skilled in writing, visual art, and dancing too. She used to let F. Scott read her diaries and it is rumored that he would copy long excerpts with out her permission and write them into his books-- never acknowledging her contribution. Zelda's real words left the mouths of many of F. Scott's fictional women, including Gatsby's Daisy and Tender is the Night's Nicole.

Of course, the charade did not last for long. After the publication of The Beautiful and the Damned, F. Scott asked Zelda to write a review for the paper, she wrote:

"It seems to me that on one page i recognized an old diary entry of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald seems to believe plagiarism begins at home."

Zelda and F. Scott's marriage began to deteriorate as Zelda began to garner attention of her own. They fought and raged often as publishers reached out to Zelda with writing deals of her own.

The couple moved to paris and as F. Scott tortured himself writing The Great Gatsby, Zelda's eye began to wonder toward a handsome pilot. As a result F. Scott locked Zelda inside their house and Zelda attempted suicide for the first time.

Ultimately, Zelda was institutionalized for her eccentric behavior and suicidal ideations, first in France, then later after her father's death in the states. She was diagnosed at the time with schizophrenia, then later, posthumously, diagnosed with bipolar disorder. While institutionalized Zelda published her first independent novel, Save Me the Waltz, a semi-autobiographical telling of her relationship with F. Scott. (The final publication was heavily edited by F. Scott's publisher, as it contained much of the same material he had planned to use for Tender is the Night.)

The novel was published with little success and ironically enough, F. Scott wrote his own scathing review of it where he called Zelda a third rate writer and a plagiarist. F. Scott died while Zelda was still hospitalized. After his death she began her second novel, Caesar's Things, but was unable to finish it after a fire broke out in a room where she was waiting to receive electroshock therapy.

Miss Fisher Con 2023

No author better defines the Jazz Age than F. Scott Fitzgerald. 

He was born and largely raised in St. Paul, MN, (home of Miss Fisher Con 2023), and would write his first published novel, “This Side of Paradise,” there, in the house at 599 Summit Ave. that he shared with his parents. 

The novel was published in March 1920. 

One week later, Fitzgerald married Zelda Sayre at St. Patrick Cathedral in New York.

Carissimo amore mio,

vivere è una cosa fredda e tecnica senza di te, una maschera mortuaria della vita. Alle sette ho fatto il bagno, ma tu non eri nella stanza accanto per fare un battesimo di tutto ciò che pensavo.

Alle otto sono andata alla ginnastica, ma tu non eri lì a trasformare il movimento in una mietitura di brezza.

Alle nove sono andata alla tessitura e un vecchio col grembiule bianco cantilenava formule magiche, ma tu non eri lì a far sembrare religiosa la sua voce implorante.

A mezzogiorno ho giocato a bridge e ho osservato il profilo del Dr. Forel che tagliava il cielo, controluce. Tutto il pomeriggio sono stata a scrivere parole fradice nella pioggia e mi sentivo tutta inzuppata dentro e pensavo a te. Quando una persona attraversa la tua fronte alta e scivola giù nelle dolci valli intorno alla tua cara bocca è come Annibale che attraversa le Alpi - ti amo, caro. Tu non cammini come una persona che fende la tempesta ma come una persona molto sorpresa dei propri mezzi di locomozione, che quasi non tocca terra, come se ogni passo fosse sperimentale.

E sei un tesoro e deve essere tremendo avere una persona che cerca sempre di insinuarsi dentro te come faccio io -

Buona notte, mio Dolce Amore

P.s. manda il grammofono per favore.

Reading the explanatory notes, including a short biography of the author, in the back of my local library’s copy of The Great Gatsby has also reminded me of that time I did an incomplete Zelda RP where one of the characters was that particular Zelda’s younger sister, Princess Sayre, named after Zelda Fitzgerald’s maiden name.
