| Publisher Description: A self-portrait of a great writer. A Short Autobiography charts Fitzgerald's progression from exuberant and cocky with What I think and Feel at 25, to mature and reflective with One Hundred False Starts and The Death of My Father. Compiled and edited by Professor James West, this revealing collection of personal essays and articles reveals the beloved author in his own words. |
Contributor Bio(s): Fitzgerald, F. Scott: - F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896. He attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and for the next decade the couple lived in New York, Paris, and on the Riviera. Fitzgerald's novels include The Beautiful and the Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald's fiction has secured his reputation as one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. |
