F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Life from Beginning to End

By: Hourly History

Narrated by: Matthew J. Chandler-Smith

F. Scott Fitzgerald was one of the foremost American novelists of his time. His works, which included masterpieces such as The Great Gatsby, portrayed the Jazz Age of the Roaring Twenties and gave voice to a lost generation, but somewhere along the way, Fitzgerald himself became lost. After the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, the world cared not so much about glitz and glamor as they did simply trying to scrape together enough money to get by. Although Fitzgerald was successful in his early days, his work fell out of favor with the public, and he struggled to gain traction for much of his later career. These difficulties were interspersed with much drinking and mayhem in between.

This audiobook tells the story of F. Scott Fitzgerald in full.

Short, informative, bitterly truthful

Listening to Tender is the Night after visiting French Riviera, walking the streets of Juan Le Pin, where Fitzgerald’s creative spirit still vividly floats around, you long to read a good bio about him, and this one is a great start.
