A devastating satire of the nouveaux rich and New York’s nightlife, of reckless ambition and squandered talent, repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Classics line.

Twenty-five-year-old Anthony Patch appears to have it all: a Harvard education, an apartment in New York City, memberships at all of the best clubs, and a generous trust fund to draw from. His grandfather is not happy with Anthony’s feckless lifestyle, but can Anthony be blamed knowing that, as an orphan, he is destined to be the sole heir to his grandfather’s immense fortune?

When Anthony is introduced to the beautiful Gloria Gilbert, whose hedonism rivals his own, he is so smitten that he proposes marriage. Gloria accepts—and so begins the downward spiral of their lives. While their friends prosper, Anthony and Gloria live recklessly, outspending their assets and squandering their good fortune.

Will they find the fortitude to change course and recover from the humiliating depths into which they’ve descended?

Fitzgerald’s masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender is the Night. He died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon.
