Because Fitzgerald drew extensively from his own experiences, his life is especially helpful in illuminating his works. This book approaches his life and writings chronologically. It explores how his parents and upbringing shaped his values, how he creatively presented his life experiences in his fiction, and how he participated in and influenced American culture during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The volume closes with a timeline and bibliography.
