Days with Gatsby
By Joséphine Nicolas
May 1924: Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald decide to escape the hustle and bustle of New York for a while. Zelda in particular led a dissolute party life at his side. But while he is writing 'The Great Gatsby' in the south of France, the novel that is supposed to pay off debts and bring him the world fame he longs for, Zelda begins to get bored and thinks of her own more artificial self-realization. But she realizes that Scott is exploiting her talent for his books and cleverly thwarting her writing ambitions. Overwhelmed as a young mother and disappointed as a wife, Zelda throws herself back into the party life. She meets the pilot Édouard Jozan and begins a relationship with him. The ménage-à-trois is the prelude to a stage-ready marriage drama, while Zelda's capers fuel Scott's creativity - he unscrupulously takes advantage of both their lives to write his novel of the century about lost illusions and great love. But will the dazzling literary couple survive this crisis in the end?
