Fitzgerald, F[rancis] Scott (Key)
1896-1940
American novelist and short-story writer.
Most notable works: The Great Gatsby (1925), and Tender is the Night (1934).
'The Jazz Age' is Fitzgerald's own descriptive phrase for the 1920s. His works reflect the heady existence suggested in the phrase, as well as the disillusion of such.
