Description
Book SynopsisF. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels,
This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and
The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and
The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
