Call Me Zelda is a captivating look at the ever-fascinating Fitzgeralds in the signature style of Erika Robuck. The focus on Zelda's descent into mental illness as recounted by a fictional psychiatric nurse with her own complex history blends fact and fiction. Scott's well-documented struggles with alcoholism are also observed as this talented couple becomes increasingly dysfunctional both individually and together.
