F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American novelist, essayist, and short-story writer, celebrated as one of the greatest literary voices of the Jazz Age. Born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald captured the glamour, excess, and disillusionment of post-WWI America with unparalleled wit and lyricism.
His 1925 masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, endures as a defining novel of the 20th century—a poignant critique of the American Dream. Other major works, such as This Side of Paradise (1920) and Tender Is the Night (1934), cemented his reputation for exploring themes of wealth, ambition, and the fragility of happiness.
Fitzgerald’s life mirrored his fiction: a whirlwind of fame, tumultuous marriage to socialite Zelda Fitzgerald, and struggles with alcoholism and financial instability. Despite his early death at 44, his legacy as a chronicler of human longing and societal decay remains timeless.
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
— The Great Gatsby
