La última obra maestra de Francis Scott Fitzgerald nos ofrece un retrato agudo y desprejuiciado de la elegante sociedad estadounidense que invadió Europa en la década posterior a la Primera Guerra Mundial, conocida como la "Edad del Jazz". Escrita con interrupciones durante ocho años, Suave es la noche contiene dos historias: la de la superficie, con el triángulo amoroso formado por Dick Diver, el psiquiatra, su paciente-esposa Nicole y su amante Rosemary, y otra subterránea que proyecta los problemas personales de Scott Fitzgerald-las secuelas del alcohol, las dificultades económicas, los brotes esquizofrénicos de Zelda-en los vaivenes de su composición y en el ensombrecimiento progresivo que desde la segunda parte desmiente el comienzo luminoso y brillante de la novela ambientada en la Riviera francesa en los locos años '20.
