About the Author

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 1940) was a celebrated author of novels and short stories whose work is synonymous with the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties of the early twentiethth century. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth-century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled Lost Generation, Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age.
