F. Scott Fitzgerald, born Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota, is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He is best known for his novel "The Great Gatsby," a timeless exploration of ambition, wealth, and social stratification in the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald was a prominent figure of the "Lost Generation," illuminating the excesses and disillusionments of his era through his evocative prose and keen social insights. His work reflects the highs and lows of the American Dream and offers a piercing critique of a society obsessed with status and material success. Despite struggling with alcoholism and financial difficulties during his lifetime, Fitzgerald's legacy lives on, and his works continue to be celebrated for their exploration of complexity, desire, and the human spirit.

F. Scott Fitzgerald 

Set in 1925, this is a novel of the Jazz Age; of ambition, of the careless rich, of wild parties and flappers and bootleg booze; and the efforts of a dreamer to reunite with his lost love. - Summary by Kara
