ISBN 0-87351-512-9

For his keen social insight, glib sophistication, and breathtaking lyricism, F. Scott Fitzgerald stands as one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century. His biographers all note the importance of his boyhood in St. Paul, where, as he put it, he lived in “a house below the average on a street above the average.” Fitzgerald’s sensitivity about wealth and position—later made evident in such classics as The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night—was bred of his St. Paul family and associations.
