“I am proud of my novel... You will like it - it is obviously in the Fitzgerald style, although more ecstatic than yours.” Zelda Fitzgerald

"Save Me the Waltz," the only finished novel by Zelda Fitzgerald, is not just a supplement to the study of F. Scott Fitzgerald's work. Largely autobiographical, the piece waltzes through the American South, the jazz and Prohibition era of New York, the Côte d'Azur of "Tender Is the Night," and the Paris of Russian émigré dancers...

Written in six weeks at the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic, where Zelda was hospitalized in 1932, it depicts the rise and dramatic fall of the couple in an impressionistic manner, with honesty and personality.
