Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 24, 1896-Hollywood, California, December 21, 1940) was a military officer, host, novelist, and American writer, widely known as one of the finest authors of the 20th century, whose works are paradigmatic of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the twenties.

He wrote five novels: The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Last Tycoon, which, although unfinished, was published after his death. He also wrote numerous short stories, many of which deal with youth and promise, age and despair.
