“Now, Max, I have told you many times that you are my publisher, and permanently, as far as one can fling about the word in this too mutable world....The idea of leaving you has never for one single moment entered my head.”

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.
