F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was educated at Princeton University and served in the United States Army during World War I. His first novel, This Side of Paradise (1920), was a national bestseller; Fitzgerald followed it with three more complete novels and hundreds of popular short stories. The Great Gatsby (1925), a timeless story of social class, race, and gender in America, remains his best-known work. Fitzgerald was living in Los Angeles, working on movie screenplays and a novel he called The Love of the Last Tycoon, when he died of a heart attack on December 21, 1941, at the age of 44. Anne Margaret Daniel teaches literature at The New School University in New York City and has published widely on Fitzgerald, Modernism, and music. She is the editor of I'd Die For You and Other Lost Stories, F. Scott Fitzgerald's last previously unpublished short stories, and of the forthcoming selected letters of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. She lives in upstate New York.
