Authors > F. Scott Fitzgerald

1896-1940. An american author famous for The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald wrote about love, money, and fast living. His novels did not sell as many copies when first published as Fitzgerald expected, but they were lauded by the critics. He wrote 160 short stories, some of which tested his ideas for his novels.

Fitzgerald incorporated many of his personal experiences into his stories. His residence in Europe, his wife's infidelity and illness, and his own alcoholism were interwoven into his works.

The Beautiful and Damned and Other Stories

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and Damned explores the world of America's upper class during World War I and the beginning of the Jazz Age. Loosely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with his wife, Zelda, the novel centers around Anthony Patch, a young East Coast socialite who is heir to his grandfather's fortune and lacks motivation to pursue a meaningful career.
