F. Scott Fitzgerald
Capturing the glamour and disillusionment of the Jazz Age in prose of extraordinary beauty.
Biography
F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American novelist and short story writer born in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century and the defining voice of the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, is now considered one of the greatest novels in American literature, though it achieved only modest success during his lifetime. Fitzgerald died in 1940 at age 44, leaving behind a small but profoundly influential body of work.
