Autorenporträt
F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered one of the pre-eminent authors in the history of American literature, due largely to the enormous posthumous success of his third book, The Great Gatsby. Perhaps the quintessential American novel, as well as a definitive social history of the Jazz Age, The Great Gatsby has become required reading for virtually every American high school student and has enchanted and awakened generation after generation of readers. In his latter years, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood and became a scriptwriter, struggling with alcoholism and failure to fulfill his limitless promise. He died of a heart attack in 1940, at age 44, his fifth and final novel only half completed.
