Beautiful Fools reimagines the relationship between F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald; a lyrical portrayal of an intense romance that ultimately destroyed them. Their standing as one of America's most debonair couples is tarnished by alcoholism, debt and Zelda's increasing instability. But they endure, both unaware that Scott's sudden death will soon end their love story once and for all. Spargo gives us a touching vision of the Fitzgeralds' marriage and the man who penned The Great Gatsby.
R. Clifton Spargo is the recipient of a Glimmer Trains Award for New Writers as well as the Fiction Open Contest, and is a recent finalist for the Flannery OConnor Award for Short Fiction. He is a graduate of Edinburgh University and has taught creative writing at numerous universities. He writes a blog for the Huffington Post.
