The Beautiful and Damned (1920):
Young, beautiful and wealthy, Gloria and Anthony want their marriage to be "a live, glamorous performance". Seemingly perfectly matched, their love begins to deteriorate as each discovers imperfections in the other. In a desperate search for happiness they live riotously - until the final crack-up.

This Side of Paradise (1920):
Amory Blaine, intent on rebelling against his staid, Midwestern upbringing, longs to acquire the patina of Eastern sophistication. In his quest for sexual and intellectual enlightenment, he progresses through a series of relationships, until he is cast out into the real world.

The Great Gatsby (1925):
Set in the post-Great War Long Island/New York world of the rich. The narrator, Nick Carraway, sympathetically records the pathos of Gatsby's romantic dream which founders on the reality of corruption, the insulated selfishness of Tom and Daisy, and the cutting edge of violence.

Tender Is the Night (1934):
Dick and Nicole Diver are handsome and rich, their dinners are legendary, their atmosphere magnetic. But Nicole has a secret and Dick has a weakness. Together they crash their lives on the rocks and only one of them really survives. Fitzgerald distilled much of his own married life into this novel.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (and Six Other Stories):
Short story about a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. The story was adapted into a screenplay by Eric Roth and Robin Swicord in 2008. The film was directed by David Fincher, with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.
