Overview
As F. Scott Fitzgerald famously decreed, āAn author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever after.ā Fitzgerald's own work has gone on to be reviewed and discussed for over one hundred years. His masterpiece The Great Gatsby brims with the passion and opulence that characterized the Jazz Ageāa term Fitzgerald himself coined. These themes also characterized his life: Fitzgerald enlisted in the US army during World War I, leading him to meet his future wife, Zelda, while stationed in Alabama. Later, along with Ernest Hemingway and other American artist expats, he became part of the āLost Generationā in Europe. Fitzgerald wrote books āto satisfy [his] own craving for a certain type of novel,ā leading to modern American classics including Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned.
In this collection of excerpts from his books, articles, and personal letters to friends and peers, Fitzgerald illustrates the life of the writer in a timeless way.
