Autorenporträt
F. Scott Fitzgerald starb 1940 im Alter von nur 44 Jahren in der Überzeugung, sein Lebensziel verfehlt zu haben, sich als bedeutender Autor seiner Zeit zu beweisen. Sein erster Roman "This Side of Paradise" (Diesseits vom Paradies), der 1920 erschien, hatte ihn für kurze Zeit bekannt gemacht. Bereits in den 1930er Jahren war er jedoch weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten. In den 1940er Jahren wiederentdeckt, gilt er heute zu den bedeutendsten US-amerikanischen Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts. "Der große Gatsby" zählt heute zu den größten Werken der amerikanischen Moderne. Weitere Werke Fitzgeralds sind: The Beautiful and Damned, Tales of the Jazz Age, All the Sad Young Men, Tender Is the Night.
