A biography that follows F. Scott Fitzgerald from his birthplace in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Princeton University, and beyond, into the highest reaches of literary and public success and ultimately to Fitzgerald's untimely death in Hollywood at the age of forty-four, a failure at writing anything of note after his earlier books, broke, and nearly forgotten. His novels' classic themes, love and class, continue to resonate today, and he is now recognized as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers.
