F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota. He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
"A tragedy backlist by beauty."
"-- Daily Express
""For Fitzgerald desolation is a precondition of the lyrical. Hence
the most distinctive impression of Tender: A beautiful novel about
failure."
"-- Independent
""It is one of those books that you read and feel a shift... the
story is told so poetically and eloquently. It is one of those
books that you read and think: if I could only remember that
sentence -- it is so beautiful."
"--" Sam Taylor-Wood
