Literary Works

Scott and Zelda led a whirlwind existence. While enjoying the ex-patriot life of Paris and the Riviera during the 20’s and 30’s, they attended countless gatherings of artists and writers and participated in a vibrant exchange of ideas and creative accomplishment.

In these years F. Scott Fitzgerald produced a stunning number of novels and short stories. His celebrity reached its zenith with the publication of The Great Gatsby in 1925 – the masterpiece that secured his literary immortality.
