8/30/2017 0 Comments Call Me Zelda by Erika RobuckHow I Found: There are few classics I have read as many times as The Great Gatsby. I have an affinity for the 1920s and all the possibilities it opened for our lives and culture. It was a time of change and progress despite much backwards thinking followed by a striking regression--perhaps too hauntingly similar to the present. This book delves into the life of the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald revealing just how dark and twisted the glittering times really were. Why You Might Read: The author reveals that Fitzgerald used parts of Zelda's diaries to write his books. Although this book is historical fiction, the parallels are striking between what we've read a thousand times and what the author adds to reality with her imagination. I have yet to see the Prime show Z, but I have a sneaking suspicion if you were intrigued by that show, you'd be intrigued by this book. Tell Me: Have you read this book? What did you think?
