THE Motivation FOR THE TV SCREEN DRAMA Z: THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING "When I saw that Amazon . com Prime was unveiling its original pilot for Z, a biographical series predicated on Therese Anne Fowler's novel about Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, I raised a wary eyebrow. . . But I got incorrect, oh me of little beliefs. . . [I]t's an enveloping period part, properly cast, and I would like to start to see the pilot green-lighted into a series so that we can easily see this romance rise like a rocket with one loud champagne pop and strew particles across mansion lawns and luxury hotel lobbies in its transcontinental avenue." -Vanity Rational I wish I could inform everyone who thinks we're ruined, Look closer...and you will see something extraordinary, mystifying, something real and true. We've never been what we should seemed. When beautiful, reckless Southern belle Zelda Sayre matches F. Scott Fitzgerald at a country club party in 1918, she actually is seventeen years of age and he is a army lieutenant stationed in Alabama. In a short time, the "ungettable" Zelda has dropped for him despite his unsuitability: Scott isn't rich or prominent or even a Southerner, and keeps insisting, absurdly, that his writing will bring him both fortune and fame. Her daddy is deeply unimpressed. But after Scott offers his first book, This Side of Heaven, to Scribner's, Zelda optimistically planks a train north, to marry him in the vestry of St. Patrick's Cathedral and take the rest as it comes. What comes, here at the dawn of the Jazz Age group, is unimagined attention and success and movie star that can make Scott and Zelda legends in their own time. Everyone desires to meet the dashing young author of the scandalous novel-and his witty, perhaps even more scandalous wife. Zelda bobs her hair, adopts daring new styles, and revels in this outrageous new world. Each place each goes becomes a playground: NEW YORK, Long Island, Hollywood, Paris, and the French Riviera-where they sign up for the endless get together of the gorgeous, sometimes doomed Lost Technology which includes Ernest Hemingway, Sara and Gerald Murphy, and Gertrude Stein. Everything seems new and possible. Troubles, at first, seem to diminish like morning mist. But not even Jay Gatsby's people go on forever. Who's Zelda, other than the wife of your famous-sometimes infamous-husband? How can she forge her own identification while struggling her demons and Scott's, too? With outstanding insight and imagination, Therese Anne Fowler brings us Zelda's irresistible storyline as she herself might have told it.
