“You don’t know what a trial it is to be —like me. I've got to keep my face like steel in the street to keep men from winking at me.”

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.
