In Germany, the rebellion in the Ruhr raged on, and the German government asked for permission to cross into the Ruhr to fight the Reds there. They wouldn't receive permission, but it didn't stop them from advancing into the Ruhr anyhow.
In the U.S., Fitzgerald's This Side Of Paradise went into publication.
A critical success, the novel put Fitzgerald on the map and it achieved his personal goal of convincing Zelda Sayre to marry him. Fitzgerald, a Princeton student only shortly before, had begun work in earnest on the project when she left him.
The novel is set in Princeton, which didn't impress the President of Princeton at all, as he found its depiction of student lives to be dispiriting and non academic.
