Scott Fitzgerald lived through the Spanish Flu of 1918. But he didn’t write about it.\n\nMost famously, he wrote about glitz, glamor, and romance. This Side of Paradise. The Beautiful and the Damned. The Great Gatsby. Tender is the Night.\n\nLong before the sexual revolution of the 1960s, authors like Fitzgerald worked hard to create a new morality, unmoored from the traditions of the past. \n\nIn this introduction to Fitzgerald, Barry and Aaron talk about his writing, his morality, and the morality of an era--both in theology and literature--that paved the way for the postmodernism of today."}
