Perhaps no other novel of the twentieth century makes a greater claim to being our Great American Novel--for its poetic prose, its exploration of the broad, intertwined themes of money, class, and American optimism (Daisy Buchanan's voice is \"full of money\"), its dominance of high school and college curricula, and its claims upon the public imagination. The novel is presented in a newly edited text, correcting numerous errors and restoring Fitzgerald's preferred American spellings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso included in this volume are Fitzgerald's third collection of stories, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll the Sad Young Men\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, which includes some of the author's best short fiction--\"Winter Dreams,\" \"The Rich Boy,\" and \"Absolution\"--as well as a generous selection of stories and nonfiction from the period 1920-1926, all in newly corrected texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota, \u003cb\u003eF. Scott Fitzgerald\u003c\/b\u003e attended Princeton University but never completed his degree, dropping out in 1917 to join the army. He was stationed in Alabama, where he met the socialite Zelda Sayre, whom he married in 1920 after the success of \u003ci\u003eThis Side of Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e. Fame, money, and excessive drinking took their toll on both Scott and Zelda. After's Zelda was institutionalized, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood in 1937 to write scripts and attempt to revive a flagging career; his experiences there inspired the unfinished novel \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tycoon\u003c\/i\u003e (1941).
