Chapter Eighteen: Tender is the Night

As a prelude to re-reading The Great Gatsby before seeing the movie, I decided to check out this other F. Scott Fitzgerald classic that I've never read, mostly because I had heard it was set largely in France and had it strongly recommended by a fellow French major.  I'm definitely glad I decided to read it!  Of course, the little bits and pieces in French were fun for me, but I really enjoyed the style of the writing as well.  Most of all, I appreciated how Fitzgerald unrolls the telling of the story and how this affected and changed my perceptions of the novel's major characters.
