- bioText: 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.

- fullDescription
- Published when he was twenty-three years old, F. Scott Fitzgerald's debut novel, This Side of Paradise, established him as the golden boy of the dawning Jazz Age. As a chronicle of youth, no other literary work remains as revealing—or as bitingly relevant.
This Side of Paradise chronicles the life of Amory Blaine, a handsome and intelligent Midwesterner, from his childhood up through his early twenties, navigating schooling, love, and war. It is written in three parts: The Romantic Egotist, Interlude, and The Education of a Personage.
