F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul,
Minnesota, in 1896, attended Princeton University, and published his
first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he
married Zelda Sayre and the couple divided their time among New York,
Paris, and the Riviera, becoming a part of the American expatriate
circle that included Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and John Dos
Passos. Fitzgerald was a major new literary voice, and his
masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great
Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died of a heart
attack in 1940 at the age of forty-four, while working on The Love
of the Last Tycoon. For his sharp social insight and
breathtaking lyricism, Fitzgerald is known as one of the most
important American writers of the twentieth century.
