Author Notes:	"If ever a writer was born with a gold pen in his mouth, surely Fitzgerald is that man."--The Times The stories in this volume come directly from the circumstances of Fitzgerald's life, but they are not autobiographical. Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896 to an upper-middle-class Irish-American family. On his father's side, he was a distant relation to Francis Scott Key, who penned the "The Star Spangled Banner"; hence his full name, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. On the verge of flunking out of Princeton, he joined the army as America entered the First World War. After the war, he married Zelda, and they instantly became a celebrity couple in New York's café society and, for the press, the embodiment of everything the new era promised or threatened. Besides being an author of novels and short stories, Fitzgerald also was a screenwriter for MGM.
