Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was een Amerikaanse schrijver wiens werken vaak geassocieerd worden met het "Jazz Age", een tijdperk dat hij naar verluidt zelf heeft bedacht. Hij wordt beschouwd als een van de grootste schrijvers van de twintigste eeuw, wiens creaties thema's als jeugd, wanhoop en ouderdom verkennen. Fitzgeralds proza vangt de sfeer van de "Lost Generation", Amerikanen die volwassen werden tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Zijn kenmerkende stijl roept de geest van zijn tijd op en onderzoekt de complexiteit van menselijke verlangens en teleurstellingen.
