Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most iconic authors of the 20th century, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Born September 24, 1896, many know Fitzgerald as a cultural icon of the Jazz Age who brought us The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, and The Beautiful and Damned, among other novels and short stories. While his work was largely under-appreciated during his lifetime, scholars have since revisited his work after his passing, shining a spotlight on the enduring impact of his prose.

Over a century after its publication, this classic story is still the life of the party, Fitzgerald’s lavish tale of ambition and desire not only inspired with its prose, it also spawned various adaptations, from the 1974 film written by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow or Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio and his take on the infamous Gatsby toast to a Broadway adaptation that is still touring today.
