About the author
1896–1940 · Modern
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) was born in St Paul, Minnesota, and attended Princeton without graduating. His first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920), made him famous at twenty-three; he married Zelda Sayre a week after it appeared. The Beautiful and Damned (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925) and Tender Is the Night (1934) followed, with many short stories for magazines. He spent his last years writing for Hollywood and died there at forty-four, leaving The Last Tycoon unfinished.
