Fitzgerald, F. Scott (Francis Scott)
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist and short story writer widely regarded as one of the greatest American authors of the 20th century. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald achieved fame and critical acclaim for his portraits of the Jazz Age, the term he himself popularized to describe the 1920s. He married Zelda Sayre in 1920, and their tumultuous relationship became as legendary as his literary work. Fitzgerald struggled financially throughout his life, completing only four novels, with The Great Gatsby (1925) considered his masterpiece. He died in Hollywood at age 44, though his work has since achieved canonical status in American literature.
