Resérvame el vals es la primera novela de Zelda Fitzgerald. Alabama Beggs, su protagonista, es una chica rebelde e intelectual dentro de una familia burguesa y conservadora del sur de Estados Unidos. A partir de su matrimonio con David Knight, un exitoso artista, la pareja iniciará un largo viaje por Nueva York y Europa. La novela se desenvuelve entre las anécdotas sociales y los distintos hitos que marcarán su matrimonio: el nacimiento de Bonnie, la hija de ambos, su vida en Francia; los amantes que tanto Alabama como David tendrán en Europa. Con una prosa elegante, vanguardista y llena de metáforas, la narradora nos hace parte de las más íntimas reflexiones en torno a sus fracasos tanto en la danza (su gran pasión), como en el amor, el matrimonio y la maternidad; mucho de esto, producto de las injusticias que suponen ser una mujer, incluso, en los sofisticados ambientes que solían frecuentar con su marido. Scott y Zelda Fitzgerald formaron parte de la “Generación perdida”, en este sentido, Resérvame el vals funciona bien como el registro de un París de entre guerras; una mirada aguda en torno al mundo artístico/literario de la época, que a la larga, no podrá evitar la tragedia que se cierne en cada uno de estos personajes. 10
