“I’m Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940). I’m widely known simply as Scott Fitzgerald, I was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. I’m best known for my novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age, a term I popularized in my short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age. During my lifetime, I published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. Although I achieved temporary popular success and fortune in the 1920s, I received critical acclaim only after my death and is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.”
