Teksten er et uddrag af en artikel.

A writer like F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose life can almost be said to have attracted more

attention than his work, may have to wait a long time before his literary reputation finds

its true level. Although Tender Is the Night, the novel Fitzgerald liked best of the four he

published during his lifetime, was generally considered a failure when it first appeared

(even by Fitzgerald, who tried to improve its standing by writing a revised version that

nearly everybody agreed was much worse), it has been quietly assuming, over the

years, something like the status of an American classic. Sales in the past twelve months

exceeded five hundred and fifty thousand copies, or about forty-five times the sale of

the original edition. The book, which was out of print when Fitzgerald died, in 1940, is

now available in four editions, and is required reading in a large number of college

courses in American literature. If many critics still regard it as a failure, they now tend to

see it as a noble failure, a flawed masterpiece, and if they still complain that the

disintegration of Dick Diver, its psychiatrist hero, is never satisfactorily resolved, most

of them concede that Diver is one of those rare heroes in American fiction about whom

the reader really cares, and that the account of his disintegration, ambiguous though it

may be, is so harrowing that it makes the glittering perfection of plot in a novel like “The

Great Gatsby” seem almost too neat. 

The New Yorker, 1962

Teksten er et uddrag af en roman.

"What train are you taking tomorrow, Camilla?" the Countess of Simnel asked her

daughter.

"The two o'clock. I'm lunching with the Carstairs woman first and we'll be travelling

down together."

"I see. Won't you find that rather dull?"

Lady Camilla laughed.

"I expect I shall," she said. "But I haven't any choice. That's the train Uncle Tom has

arranged to have met, and I can't afford to pay for a taxi out from the station for myself,

so that's the train I have to take. Anyhow, travelling with her saves one the trouble of

making conversation. One needn't listen to her, either. So long as one looks intelligent,

she'll go on talking all day about her marvellous Alan without expecting one to

answer."

"Mrs. Carstairs," observed Lady Simple succinctly, "is a bore. At the same time, there is

something admirable in her devotion to her husband. A woman is lucky who has found a

purpose in life, as she has done."

Lady Camilla said nothing, but the expression on her handsome, intelligent face showed

that she understood more in the words than their surface meaning.

"It will be chilly at Warbeck at this time of year," her mother went on. "I hope you are

taking plenty of warm things."

"I'm taking everything I've got. And what's more, I intend to wear it all. All at once. I shall

positively bulge with clothes. I know what Warbeck can be in a cold snap."

"Don't you think you would be more comfortable spending Christmas quietly with me in

London?"

Lady Camilla looked round the small, well-furnished drawing-room of her mother's flat

and smiled.

"Much more comfortable, Mother dear," she agreed.
