"Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald" was an American author of novels and short story writer/short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American literature/American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby (his most famous), and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with age and despair.
