F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald: Classic Works | F. Scott Fitzgerald
27 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
Inseparably associated with a point in history he claimed to despise, F. Scott Fitzgerald is both the quintessential Jazz-Age writer and perhaps the era's harshest critic. Included in this book are: The Beautiful and Damned (novel), a cautionary tale of reckless ambition and squandered talent set amid the glitter of Jazz Age New York. This Side of Paradise (novel), his semi-autobiographical first novel, became an instant best-seller. It traces the early life of Amory Blaine from the end of prep school through Princeton to the start of an uncertain career in New York City. 11 short stories from Tales of the Jazz Age and 8 short stories from Flappers and Philosophers. With stories like "The Ice Palace" and "The Jelly Bean," he portrayed the emotional depth of a society devoted to excess and racing heedlessly towards catastrophe that was only a few years ahead.

#ThinkPositiveBePositive @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm

This quote is from F. Scott Fitzgerald (had to crop the photo to make it fit) and it's one of my favorites. Once I got into my 30s, I began feeling like I was "too late" for a lot of things. Lately I've been working on getting out of that mindset. This quote helps ❤️

Thanks for tagging me! ☺️ #fscottfitzgerald #quotes #positivity

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I really love this! I‘ve been feeling the “too late you‘re 30” attitude sneaking in from time to time as well. ❤️ 3y
SeaToSkyes @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I'll be 33 this year and working on finishing my BA so I can get my MLIS degree. It is hard seeing younger people doing amazing things sometimes but I still can too 💪🏻 3y

Sometimes words are never enough. However, in Fitzgerald‘s case, they are simply perfect! 😍💕

Seventy-seven years after his passing, we can not think of the Jazz Age without remembering F. Scott Fitzgerald. His name has become synonymous with the extravagance of that time. To this day, readers and moviegoers alike live the opulence and turmoil of the roaring 20‘s through his works. I would like to wish this literary giant a happy birthday. 🥂🍾

Spent yesterday surrounded by books 📚 just reading all day. My kind of vacation day! A week or so ago I binged Z on Amazon. Certainly adds to my enjoyment of this book.
