Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is a classic biography of ZELDA FITZGERALD, the author who, with husband and novelist F. SCOTT FITZGERALD epitomized the "Lost Generation" of American writers--the book is a STATED FIRST PRINTING published by Avon Books in July 1971 and a mass market paperback copy.  This book is in SUPERB and beautiful condition and has a small owner's name and numbers on the lower portion of the title page, a very slight crease on the left spine edge of the front cover, a light discolored spot on the red-tinted lower page edge and just slight shelfwaer on the cover but NO other significant imperfections!   The book is titled Zelda: A Biography and it was written by NANCY MILFORD; it was published by Avon Books in July 1971 and is a STATED 1st PRINTING copy.

Zelda Sayre’s stormy life spanned from notoriety as a spirited Southern beauty to success as a gifted novelist and international celebrity at the side of her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Zelda and Fitzgerald were one of the most visible couples of the Jazz Age, inhabiting and creating around them a world of excitement, romance, art, and promise. Yet their tumultuous relationship precipitated a descent into depression and mental instability for Zelda, leaving her to spend the final twenty years of her life in hospital care, until a fire at a sanitarium claimed her life.

Incorporating years of exhaustive research and interviews, Milford illuminates Zelda’s nuanced and elusive personality, giving character to both her artistic vibrancy and to her catastrophic collapse.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
