<P> In 1932 , Fitzgerald 's wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald was hospitalized for schizophrenia in Baltimore , Maryland . The author rented the La Paix estate in the suburb of Towson to write this story of the rise and fall of Dick Diver , a promising young psychiatrist , and his wife , Nicole , who is also one of his patients . It was Fitzgerald 's first novel in nine years and the last that he would complete . The early 1930s , when Fitzgerald conceived the book , were the darkest years of his life , and the novel 's bleakness reflects his own experiences . The novel almost mirrors the events of Fitzgerald and Zelda 's lives , as characters are pulled and put back into mental care , and the male figure , Dick Diver , starts his descent into alcoholism . While working on the book , Fitzgerald was beset with financial difficulties . He borrowed money from both his editor and his agent and wrote short stories for commercial magazines . </P>
