The Great Gatsby author?

The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1925, it vividly captures the glamour and disillusionment of the Jazz Age in 1920s America, and Fitzgerald’s polished, lyrical prose and sharp social insight are what make him the author most closely associated with this work. For contrast, Mark Twain wrote earlier, with works like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; Ernest Hemingway is known for concise, pared-down prose in postwar fiction; and John Steinbeck wrote Depression-era novels such as The Grapes of Wrath. Keeping in mind the era and Fitzgerald’s distinctive style helps explain why this novel is his.
