F. Scott Fitzgerald

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940) was an Irish American writer. He wrote five books:

• This Side of Paradise
• The Beautiful and Damned
• The Great Gatsby (his most famous book)
• Tender is the Night
• The Love of the Last Tycoon (he did not finish this one; some say it would have been better than The Great Gatsby if he had finished it)

Fitzgerald was an alcoholic, and died of a heart attack in 1940.
