F. Scott Fitzgerald
Born in Saint Paul in 1896, Fitzgerald lived in the Saint Paul area at various times and in multiple locations until 1922. He married his well-known wife, Zelda Sayre, in 1920, and they had one child, a daughter named Frances Scott (Scottie), in 1921. In 1940 Fitzgerald died at the age of 44 in Hollywood, California. Fitzgerald's other works include Tender is the Night, The Last Tycoon and over 150 short stories. |
One of the most beloved American writers of the 20th century, F. Scott Fitzgerald burst onto the literary scene with the publication of This Side of Paradise in 1920. His works, most notably his masterpiece The Great Gatsby, came to embody the spirit of the Jazz Age.
