After the war, he moved to New York City where he wrote short stories as a freelancer while living a wild lifestyle funded by loans from friends and family. He finally achieved success with the publication of This Side of Paradise in 1920; however success did not last long, and his later years were characterized by financial hardship and alcoholism.
