F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald, the chronicler of the Jazz Age, captured the roaring highs and crushing lows of 1920s America in novels like The Great Gatsby. Known for his glamorous yet turbulent life with wife Zelda, Fitzgerald’s own story often mirrored the excess and disillusionment of his characters. Despite struggles with fame, fortune, and personal demons, his work remains a cornerstone of American literature, proving that even in the wildest parties, reality has a way of catching up.

A bold reimagining of The Great Gatsby's cover, highlighting the novel’s themes of wealth, illusion, and decadence.

The Great Gatsby is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tale of ambition, excess, and the elusive American Dream, set against the backdrop of 1920s Long Island. At its heart is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who throws lavish parties in hopes of winning back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. With sharp commentary on wealth, class, and the hollowness of success, the novel shows that sometimes, chasing your dream can end up being more of a cautionary tale than a triumph.
