F. Scott Fitzgerald

(1896–1940)

1 He was born in St Paul, Minnesota, and entered Princeton University in 1913. In 1917 he left before graduating to join the US Army. While stationed in Alabama, he met and became engaged to Zelda Sayre, who also had ambitions to be a writer.

2 he moved to New York and worked briefly for an advertising agency. In the same year he sold his first short story, Babes in the Wood. In the story, the hero, like Fitzgerald, goes to Princeton before joining the army (unlike Fitzgerald, the character gets sent to France to fight in the First World War) and then works in advertising. 3 , Fitzgerald returned to St Paul and rewrote a novel he had started in the army, This Side of Paradise, which was published in 1920 and was an immediate success.

4 , Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre were married in 1920, and two years later they moved to Great Neck, New York. Living in this rich community gave Fitzgerald a lot of material for his 1925 novel The Great Gatsby. Although he was writing and publishing stories and novels, the couple needed to live more cheaply, so in 1924 they moved to Europe. While they were living there, Fitzgerald's greatest novel, The Great Gatsby, was published.

5 , the Fitzgeralds travelled back and forth between Europe and the States several times. For a couple of periods he worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter, and he later returned to take up a well-paid contract with a film studio. Despite his talents as a writer, he only completed one film script before being sacked because of his problems with alcohol.

6 because she was suffering from mental health problems and living in a hospital. Although they never got divorced, he started a relationship with a journalist, and it was in her apartment that he died of a heart attack in 1940. Zelda outlived him by eight years but died tragically in a fire in the mental hospital where she was living.

7 , the Fitzgeralds represented the 1920s jazz age. They were both talented people, and F. Scott Fitzgerald is thought to be one of the USA's finest novelists. Sadly, they both had problems which some people think destroyed them and wasted their talents.
