A New Leaf
F. Scott Fitzgerald
1931
Introduction
A New Leaf
is a story by the twentieth-century American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was first published in the Saturday Evening Post in July 1931. It has since been reprinted in Bits of Paradise: 21 Uncollected Stories by F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald (Pocket Books, 1976) and in The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald: A New Collection edited by Matthew J. Bruccoli in 1989. The story can also be found in F. Scott Fitzgerald: Short Stories 1921–1940, as an Amazon Kindle edition, and at the following link: http://www.gutenberg.net.au/fsf/A-NEW-LEAF.html.
Set in Paris and the United States, A New Leaf
is a romantic, if tragic, tale. Two young Americans meet in a Paris café and soon fall in love, but the man is an alcoholic whose life has been spoiled by drink. His failed efforts to renounce alcohol, and the consequences this has for his relationship with his fiancée, form the backbone of the story. Although never regarded as an example of Fitzgerald's finest work, the story is nonetheless interesting as an example of the kind of themes and settings that characterize his work as a whole.
Author Biography
Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896. His father, Edward Fitzgerald, was a salesman for Proctor & Gamble, and until 1908, the family lived in upstate New York, in Buffalo and Syracuse. When F. Scott Fitzgerald was twelve, his father lost his job, and the family moved back to St. Paul. Fitzgerald's mother, Mary McQuillan, had inherited wealth, so the family suffered no hardship. Fitzgerald showed an early interest in writing fiction, and his first story was published in the school newspaper when he was thirteen. Fitzgerald attended Newman School, a Catholic preparatory school in Hackensack, New Jersey, and in 1913, he enrolled at Princeton University, where he contributed stories to a literary magazine. Intent on writing, he neglected his academic studies, and in 1917, he left Princeton without a degree.
Fitzgerald was commissioned as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army and served until 1919, although he was not deployed to fight in World War I. After his discharge, he moved to New York City, where he wrote advertising copy, but he soon quit and returned
