2020 Facsimile of the 1932 Edition. Save Me the Waltz is the first and only novel by the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. During the years when Fitzgerald was working on Tender Is the Night, Zelda Fitzgerald was preparing her own story, which parallels the narrative of her husband, throwing a fascinating light on F. Scott Fitzgerald's life and work. In its own right, it is a vivid and moving story: the confessions of a famous, slightly doomed glamour girl of the affluent 1920s, which captures the spirit of an era. It is a story of a beautiful Southern belle desperately determined to become a great ballerina and of her violent, passionate marriage to a famous artist, her love affair with a young French aviator on the Riviera, of wild parties, drunken brawls, insane escapades, the dissolute, destructive pleasures that gutted the lives of the most famous couple of the flaming twenties, as one headed toward alcoholism, the other toward madness.
