F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald was a renowned American author born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is best known for his novel "The Great Gatsby," a critique of the American Dream, written during the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald began his writing career at Princeton University and later joined the army during World War I. Despite his notable works, he struggled with alcoholism, which hindered his career progression and affected his health. His writing primarily explored themes of wealth, ambition, and social class, reflecting America's cultural state during the 1920s. Fitzgerald passed away on December 21, 1940, but remains an iconic figure in the history of American literature.
