Paradise Lost

a Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald
Mar 14, 2018
Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota (1896) - (writer) Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was a man whose works clearly epitomized the "roaring" Jazz Age as it existed in America at the time. Fitzgerald is, of course, considered to be a full-fledged member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. While he achieved only limited success in his lifetime, he is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He finished 4 novels in his lifetime and a 5th (an unfinished novel) "The Last Tycoon", was published posthumously. During his career - Fitzgerald also penned 4 collections of short stories, as well as 164 short stories in magazines. Competently written by historian, David Brown - "Paradise Lost" is a greatly detailed, 400-page biography (including a 16-page photo gallery) covering all of the aspects of Fitzgerald's hectic lifestyle, including his turbulent marriage to Zelda Sayre, the mentally unstable "golden girl". *Note* - In 1940 - F. Scott Fitzgerald (44 at the time) died of a heart attack.
