    <![CDATA[<em>Radiant Days</em>, FitzGerald's debut, follows the dissolving love triangle of a hapless American, a beautiful Hungarian junkie, and a young British journalist during the last days of the Balkan War. It's a comic tragedy that begins in dotcom San Francisco and travels through the tattered romanticism of expatriate Budapest, the sparkling Dalmatian coast, ending in the brutalized landscape of inland Croatia. Booklist says that FitzGerald has &quot;flawlessly and astutely mirrored the ennui and confusion of a generation.&quot; Library Journal calls the book &quot;a thoughtful if uncomfortable depiction of the spiritual bankruptcy of Americans.&quot; The New York Times says it is &quot;an old story, made fresh.&quot;<br/>[link:http://www.radiantdays.com]]]>

    <body><![CDATA[If you grew up on the fiction of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, this book should appeal to you. It's obsessed with glamor and the fast-life, like Fitzgerald's work, and takes the reader into a foreign war zone, like Hemingway's.
