F. Scott Fitzgerald on Writing
- +
A collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald's remarks on his craft, taken from his works and letters to friends and colleagues--an essential trove of advice for aspiring writers.

As F. Scott Fitzgerald famously decreed, "An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever after." Fitzgerald's own work has gone on to be reviewed and discussed for over one hundred years. His masterpiece The Great Gatsby brims with the passion and opulence that characterized the Jazz Age--a term Fitzgerald himself coined. These themes also characterized his life: Fitzgerald enlisted in the US army during World War I, leading him to meet his future wife, Zelda, while stationed in Alabama. Later, along with Ernest Hemingway and other American artist expats, he became part of the "Lost Generation" in Europe. Fitzgerald wrote books "to satisfy [his] own craving for a certain type of novel," leading to modern American classics including Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned.

In this collection of excerpts from his books, articles, and personal letters to friends and peers, Fitzgerald illustrates the life of the writer in a timeless way.

About the Author
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896. He attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and for the next decade the couple lived in New York, Paris, and on the Riviera. Fitzgerald's masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald's fiction has secured his reputation as one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century.
