F. Scott Fitzgerald
1896 - 1940
American novelist who captured the moral decadance of the 1930 post-war Jazz Age.
In a booming America, F. Scott Fitzgerald lived as extravagantly as those around him. Like his creation Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby, he gave lavish parties and lead a luxurious lifestyle.
Unlike those around him, however, Fitzgerald had the mind to see the superficiality of the time. Belief in the 'American Dream' - that anyone can succeed with hard work and determination; the moral decadence and decline in spirituality of the Jazz Age were all challenged by his works.
