"This Side of Paradise" is the book that established F. Scott Fitzgerald as the prophet and golden boy of the newly dawned Jazz Age. Published in 1920, when he was just twenty-three, the novel catapulted him to instant fame and financial success. The story of Amory Blaine, a privileged, aimless, and self-absorbed Princeton student, "This Side of Paradise" closely reflects Fitzgerald`s own experiences as an undergraduate.

On a bitter winter`s day in 1916, deep below the streets of New York, a group of men are working in one of the huge pressurised tunnels that will make up the subway system. Suddenly, a tiny hole appears in the roof of the tunnel and air rushes in, sucking the men up through the bed of the Hudson, to be suspended on a plume of water high above the river. Almost ninety years later, a homeless man stumbles on the same corridor and sets about making his home deep under the city.

Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley back onto centre stage in an intricate crime drama.

F. Scott Fitzgerald`s extraordinary career as a novelist ended abruptly and unhappily, but it began with one of the most brilliant first novels in the history of American literature. Published when its author was just twenty-three, This Side of Paradise is about the education of a youth, and to this universal story Fitzgerald brought the promise of everything that was new in the vigorous, restless America during the years following World War I. Amory Blaine-egoistic, versatile, callow, and imaginative-inhabits a book that is interwoven with songs, poems, playscripts, and questions and answers. His growth from self-absorption to sexual awareness and personhood is described by means of a continuous improvisatory energy and delight. Far...
