All Books By F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald is a short-story writer and novelist, most famous for his novel The Great Gatsby. He published four novels, four short story collections, and 164 short stories. He wrote his first novel at age 24, This Side of Paradise, which was very successful and started his writing career off strong. He took his new "celebrity" status to heart and started to live a luxurious lifestyle while marrying the woman he loved. His second novel was published two years later, The Beautiful and the Damned, which made him very popular with New York City elite. His novels reflected their lifestyle and the ambition, extravagance, and selfishness that emerged during the 1920s. His third and most popular novel, The Great Gatsby, was inspired by his rise to fame, interactions with the New York elite, and by his wife, Zelda Sayre. While The Great Gatsby was a successful novel at the time, many didn't see past his alcoholism and criticism of the excesses of the Jazz Age. The Great Gatsby only achieved its status of "one of the greatest American novels ever written" after Fitzgerald's death, around the 1950's-60's. Fitzgerald's last novel was published in 1934, Tender is the Night, written about a psychiatrist married to a wealthy patient, which was inspired by his wife's struggle with mental illness. He had one unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, which was completed by Edmund Wilson after Fitzgerald's death.
