Scott Fitzgerald. It was his fourth and final completed novel, and was regarded the greatest book of Fitzgerald. The novel almost mirrors the events of Fitzgerald and Zelda’s lives. In 1932, Fitzgerald’s wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was hospitalized for schizophrenia in Baltimore, Maryland. The author rented the La Paix estate in the suburb of Towson to work on this book, the story of the rise and fall of Dick Diver, and his wife Nicole. Rosemary Hoyt, a beautiful eighteen-year-old movie starlet, on vacation with her mother, arrives at a rather deserted portion of the French Riviera. There, Rosemary meets Dick Diver, a handsome American psychologist in his thirties with whom she instantly falls in love. Dick and his wife, Nicole, are exemplars of grace and sophistication, and move among a social set of similarly extraordinary people. Rosemary becomes part of this world, and in the gay times that follow, Dick begins to reciprocate Rosemary’s feelings for him. Everything goes splendidly until, after an alcoholic friend of the Divers accidentally kills a man, Rosemary discovers Dick comforting Nicole, who has had a mental breakdown…
第一部文笔巅峰、光影、海边、人物与场景唯美梦幻，是菲茨杰拉德巅峰式的华丽抒情。 无与伦比环境描写 As sea and sky appeared below them in a thin, hot line 海与天在他们下方化作一条纤细灼热的线， 第二部补全悲剧内核。把迪克从“完美迷人的绅士”拉回凡人，写出他的自恋与内耗，有很多细腻迷人的精彩段落。 唯爱 第三部最琐碎混乱、打破第一第二所有美感秩序。作者创新性地追求一种“形式即内容” 无主线强情节、场景乱七八糟、人物行为反复无逻辑，少有细腻动人的描写，也是最枯燥压抑的一部，只有一种缓缓下坠的疯感。用破碎叙事结构对应迪克的emo崩溃。 全书高潮定在第三部分第七章的罗马重逢 - 第一次落水：罗斯玛丽叫了一声“太棒了！他们差不多成功了”——还在维护他、给主角台阶。 - 第二、三次失败：书中写她安静看着。 她心里那份崇拜，是献给五年前那个光芒万丈的迪克，而不是眼前这个被生活拖垮的男人。 作者本人对这一章评价为 罗马那段（迪克再遇罗斯玛丽）不是爱情戏，是他看着自己的尸体。罗斯玛丽已经成了他曾经向往、后来又毁掉的一切的镜子。他去见她，是去给自己的理想收尸。” “夜色温柔，但光已经灭了。 他想要的不是罗斯玛丽，是当年那个能被她仰望的自己——可那个自己已经死了。” 这是我最怕的时刻：被曾经崇拜你的人用怜悯的眼神看着。迪克不再是她崇拜的神——他只是个让她同情的男人。 Rome: Climax — Dick finally understands he can’t go back. Dignity, charm, moral force — all gone. Only pity and shame remain.” “罗马：高潮——迪克终于明白，他回不去了。尊严、魅力、道德力量——全没了。只剩下怜悯和羞耻。”
Knotted at her throat she wore a lilac scarf that even in the achromatic sunshine cast its color up to her face and down around her moving feet in a lilac shadow. her face was hard, almost stern, save for the soft gleam of piteous doubt that looked from her green eyes. Just as the personal qualities of Extraordinary people can make themselves plain in an unaccounted change of expression, so the intensely calculated perfection of villa diana transpired all at once through such minute failure as the chance apparition of a maid in the background or the perversity of a cook. 书中有太多精美和细腻的描写了，风景描写的如诗如画，人物内心活动描写的细致入微，每一个角色都具象化的立在面前，有些部分也晦涩难懂，但去了解完作者的时代背景，又能和书中人物产生许多的共鸣。静下心来阅读这本书，会有很多丰富的体验，犹如伴随着男主走完了他的半生。
“Forlorn! the very word is like a bell To toll me back from thee to my sole self! Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf. Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?” —— Ode to a Nightingale
The well-written emotions and environment do not cover for a truly mediocre story. An overrated book and a waste of my 16 hours.

有感动、有脸红、有遗憾，也当然相信那些真挚而热烈的瞬间，也很为一些过去而不值得。 另，Baby的有些话还真的是令人咋舌。Dick was a good husband to me for six years,” Nicole said. “All that time I never suffered a minute’s pain because of him, and he always did his best never to let anything hurt me.” Baby’s lower jaw projected slightly as she said: “That’s what he was educated for.”
He tried to arrange an attitude but no logic seemed forthcoming.
