首次出版于1922年的 The Beautiful and Damned 继 Fitzgerald 无懈可击的处女作 This Side of Paradise 之后推出，从而奠定了他在美国伟大小说家传统中的地位。伴随着作者诗意抒情的散文笔调，本书讲述了毕业于哈佛大学、自命不凡的唯美主义者 Anthony Patch 及其美貌妻子 Gloria 的故事。在等待继承祖父庞大遗产的过程中，他们挥霍无度的婚姻在酒精和贪欲的侵蚀下摇摇欲坠。对暴发户阶层、纽约夜生活以及狂妄野心所带来的毁灭性恶果进行了发人深省的审视，The Beautiful and...

……合格的《了不起的盖茨比》电影改编，而据我所知，《汤姆·索亚历险记》、《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》、《伊利亚特》或《奥德赛》却根本没有？（顺便提一句：大约 15 年前我读了菲茨杰拉德的《美丽与毁灭》（The Beautiful and Damned），觉得写得非常好且很有创意；我很推荐。如今维基百科告诉我，“许多研究菲茨杰拉德的学者通常认为《美丽与毁灭》属于该作者较弱的小说之一”，……

…fully interesting in my opinion. I do sometimes read books because of the hype, like Catcher in the Rye, that I later wish I read something better. But the only book I read to say I read it was "The Beautiful and Damned" because I heard it called a book that you always wish you could say you had read but you never did. Of course, it wasn't as good as I hoped. But, dang, if you are reading just to be able to drop names,…
