“Always, after he was in bed, there were voices - indefinite, fading, enchanting - just outside his window, and before he fell asleep he would dream one of his favorites waking dreams.”

American novelist, essayist, and short story writer

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, known as F. Scott Fitzgerald or Scott Fitzgerald, was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He became associated with the Jazz Age, and his fiction is closely tied to its glamour, restlessness, and excess. He published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. He also helped popularize the phrase “Jazz Age” in his collection Tales of the Jazz Age. He found brief success and wealth in the 1920s, but wider critical recognition came only after his death.
