About the Author
F. Scott Fitzgerald, the iconic American author of the Jazz Age, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896 and became a defining voice of the Roaring Twenties through his vivid portrayals of ambition, love, and disillusionment among the elite. Educated at Princeton University, Fitzgerald's writing career flourished after World War I, capturing the exuberance and underlying fragility of post-war America. His masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, remains a cornerstone of modern literature, exploring the elusive American Dream through the enigmatic Jay Gatsby. Despite personal struggles with fame, alcoholism, and financial woes, Fitzgerald's oeuvre, including short stories and novels like Tender Is the Night, continues to resonate, offering timeless insights into human aspiration and societal excess. He passed away in 1940, leaving an indelible legacy in American letters.
