# F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby, All the Sad Young Men & Other Writings 1920-26 (Loa #353) - Hardcover

by **F. Scott Fitzgerald** (Author), **James West** (Editor)

**Library of America's authoritative Fitzgerald edition continues with his greatest masterpiece and best story collection of stories in newly edited texts**

This long-awaited second volume of Library of America's authoritative edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald features the author's acknowledged masterpiece and most popular book, **_The Great Gatsby_**.

It was _Gatsby_ that solidified his reputation as the chronicler of the Jazz Age and established him as one of the leading American novelists of his generation. Perhaps no other novel of the twentieth century makes a greater claim to being our Great American Novel--for its poetic prose, its exploration of the broad, intertwined themes of money, class, and American optimism (Daisy Buchanan's voice is "full of money"), its dominance of high school and college curricula, and its claims upon the public imagination. The novel is presented in a newly edited text, correcting numerous errors and restoring Fitzgerald's preferred American spellings.

Also included in this volume are Fitzgerald's third collection of stories, **_All the Sad Young Men_**, which includes some of the author's best short fiction--"Winter Dreams," "The Rich Boy," and "Absolution"--as well as a generous selection of stories and nonfiction from the period 1920-1926, all in newly corrected texts.  

### Author Biography

Born in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, **F. Scott Fitzgerald** attended Princeton University but never completed his degree, dropping out in 1917 to join the army. He was stationed in Alabama, where he met the socialite Zelda Sayre, whom he married in 1920 after the success of _This Side of Paradise_. Fame, money, and excessive drinking took their toll on both Scott and Zelda. After's Zelda was institutionalized, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood in 1937 to write scripts and attempt to revive a flagging career; his experiences there inspired the unfinished novel _The Last Tycoon_ (1941). Fitzgerald died of a heart attack in Hollywood in 1940. His major works include _This Side of Paradise_ (1920), _The Beautiful and Damned_ (1922), _Tales of the Jazz Age_ (1922), _The Great Gatsby_ (1925), _All the Sad Young Men_ (1926), and _Tender is the Night_ (1934).
