Who’s That Author? F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 – 1940) is considered one of the greatest American writers in the 20^th century. He is also considered a member of the Lost Generation and wrote much of his fiction during the Roaring Twenties. The Jazz Age is a term he coined and represents the reckless nature of these times. The short story entitled, “Babylon Revisited” was adapted into the 1954 movie The Last Time I Saw Paris, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Van Johnson.

In addition to many short stories, Fitzgerald completed four novels:

This Side of Paradise (1920)
The Beautiful and the Damned (1922)
The Great Gatsby (1925)
Tender Is the Night (1934)
The Love of The Last Tycoon, an unfinished novel, was published after his death.
