F. Scott Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American writer, author, screenwriter, and short-story essayist, in spite of the fact that he was most popular for his books delineating the showiness and abundance of the Jazz Age—a term which he instituted. During his lifetime, he distributed four books, four assortments of short stories, and 164 short stories. In spite of the fact that he incidentally made well known progress and fortune during the 1920s, Fitzgerald just got wide basic and famous praise after his passing. He is broadly viewed as one of the best American authors of the twentieth century.

Fitzgerald was naturally introduced to an upper-working class family in St. Paul, Minnesota, however was fundamentally brought up in New York. He went to Princeton College, yet because of a bombed relationship and a distraction with composing, he dropped out in 1917 to join the military. While positioned in Alabama, he began to look all starry eyed at rich socialite Zelda Sayre. Despite the fact that she at first dismissed him because of his money related circumstance, Zelda consented to wed Fitzgerald after he had wrote the financially effective This Side of Paradise (1920).

Confronted with budgetary troubles because of the declining fame of his works, Fitzgerald went to Hollywood, composing and updating screenplays. After a long battle with liquor addiction, he passed on in 1940, at 44 years old. A fifth, incomplete novel, The Last Tycoon (1941),was finished by Edmund Wilson and distributed after Fitzgerald's death.
