With a circle that included Ernest Hemmingway, Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker and Cole Porter, Gerald and Sara Vaill's recent biography, Everybody Was So Young, delves into the story of the couple perhaps best remembered as the models for Dick and Nicole Diver in Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night and hailed as the "toast of the Lost Generation."

Amanda Vaill, who has worked as an editor at McGraw Hill, Macmillan and Viking Penguin, has worked since 1991 as a full-time writer and critic for publications including GQ, Mirabella, Esquire, Allure, and New York magazine.
