Summary of Joshua Zeitz's Flapper

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 America’s Jazz Age began in July 1918 in Montgomery, Alabama, when a strikingly beautiful woman named Zelda Sayre caught the eye of First Lieutenant Francis Scott Fitzgerald. She was 17 years old, and she had a well-earned reputation for violating the time-honored codes of sexual propriety.

#2 Zelda was a popular girl at Sidney Lanier High School, and she was well ahead of the learning curve in most other matters. She habitually rouged her cheeks and stenciled her eyes with mascara, giving her friends’ parents great cause for concern.

#3 Fitzgerald was a lazy man who spent most of his time reading and writing. He had little ambition, and he spent most of his time escaping the indignity of a fifth year at Princeton by enlisting in the army in late 1917.

#4 Zelda was one of Montgomery’s most popular debutantes. She enjoyed scores of romantic opportunities from the usual college and business crowds. With America fully mobilized for war, she was one of the most hotly pursued belles in the state.
