Scott Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, short story writer, and screenwriter. He was most known for his books that depicted the luxury and extravagance of the Jazz Age, a word he created. He wrote four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories throughout his lifetime.

Fitzgerald relocated to Hollywood and worked as a scriptwriter by the end of the 1920s, due to financial difficulties. In 1940, at the age of 44, he died of a heart attack. He thought himself to be a failure at the time of his death, and his work had been forgotten. The Great Gatsby, his third novel, on the other hand, grew in popularity after WWII. It is now considered a literary masterpiece and a contender for the title of Great American Novel. Furthermore, F. Scott Fitzgerald is largely regarded as one of the best American writers of the twentieth century.
