    F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, those soaring phoenixes of twenties-era prohibition America, who ended their days in something straight out of The Great Gatsby author?s own novels (he drinking himself to death and she locked away in a mental institute) are now the subject of an off-Broadway musical at the Theatre at St. Clements on the West Side. This Side of Paradise recounts the highs and lows of the jazz-era icons through songs and of Fitzgerald?s corrosive friendship with Ernest Hemingway. CityArts has this [story] about Paradise writer Nancy Harrow and co-writer/director Will Pomerantz and the life of one of our country?s most endearing literary couples. Read more [here].
