Scott Fitzgerald
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on 24 September 1896 in Minnesota, United States. He was an American novelist, essayist and story writer. Now regarded as one of the greatet writers of the twentieth century, his novels depict the glamour and excess of “Jazz Age”. During his lifetime he was associated with modernist writers like Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, the great novelists of the ‘Lost Generation' who wrote through Great Depression and the First World War. Despite writing the ‘Great American Novel', The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald's life was marked with emotional turmoil, commercial failure and personal struggles. His wife was placed in a mental institution just after he finished his last novel, Tender Is the Night. At the height of his literary fame, after maintaining sobriety for over a year, he died of a heart attack on 21 December 1940. His novels have since been adapted into a variety of media and Broadway plays.
