  • Save Me the Waltz is a 1932 novel by American writer Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. It is a semi-autobiographical account of her early life in the American South during the Jim Crow era and her tempestuous marriage to novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald. Divided into four chapters, the novel is a chronological narrative of four periods in the lives of Alabama Beggs and her alcoholic husband David Knight, two Jazz Age hedonists who are thinly-disguised alter-egos of their real-life counterparts. Upon its publication by Scribner's, the novel received generally negative reviews. The book sold approximately 1,300 copies for which Zelda earned a grand total of $120.73. Its critical and commercial failure greatly disappointed Zelda and led her to pursue her other interests as a playwright and a painter. Forty years after its publication, Zelda's first biographer Nancy Milford speculated in 1970 that F. Scott Fitzgerald extensively rewrote Zelda's novel prior to publication. This supposition was echoed by other biographers in subsequent decades. However, later scholarly examinations of Zelda's earlier drafts of Save Me the Waltz and the published version disproved this speculation. Nearly every revision was by Zelda herself and, contrary to Milford's biography, her husband did not rewrite the manuscript. (en)

  • "The [novel's poor sales] won't be encouraging to you, and I have not liked to ask whether you were writing any more because of the fact, but I do think the last part of that book, in particular, was very fine; and if we [both Perkins and Zelda] had not been in the depths of depression, the result would have been quite different."
