“By God, I may be old-fashioned in my ideas, but women run around too much these days to suit me. They meet all kinds of crazy fish.”

American novelist and short story writer of the Jazz Age F. Scott Fitzgerald is best known for his novel *The Great Gatsby*, a sharp critique of the American Dream and the excesses of the 1920s. His prose, rich with lyrical detail and psychological insight, captures the disillusionment and ambition of his era.
