**Scott F. Fitzgerald** [|Short description of his life]

Fitzgerald is most famous for his book, //The Great Gatsby//. It was published in 1925 and is about a young American who came back from fighting in WWI and is enjoying the roaring 20s.

Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda lived lavishly and spent more than they made. This put them in great debt which stressed Zelda out to the point that she was institutionalized.

The Fitzgeralds moved to Europe in hope of escaping their financial problems. There Scott became close friends with people like Earnest Hemmingway. Europe provided no solution and the couple moved back to the United States.



Fitzgerald was still stuggling finacially. He moved to Hollywood while Zelda stayed in an institution back east and became a screenwriter.
