His family were upper-middle class Irish Catholics. In 1913 he enrolled at Princeton, a prestigious university. While he was at university, he wrote his first novel. But it was rejected by publishers. Five years later he left university without graduating and joined the army. In 1919, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre. She was 17 and very beautiful. Fitzgerald wanted to marry her but she was only interested in money and having a good time. To please her, he left the army and moved to New York to look for a job. With the publication in March 1920 of his novel This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald became a literary sensation. He was now earning enough money to convince Zelda to marry him. They immediately embarked on an extravagant lifestyle of parties and socializing, travelling widely both in the USA and in Europe. His second novel The Beautiful and Damned (1922) and the third The Great Gatsby (1925) didn’t sell as well as the first and he was frequently in debt. In 1930, Zelda developed schizophrenia. From 1932 onwards she lived in mental institutions and she was a constant expense for Fitzgerald. In 1937 Fitzgerald went to Hollywood and began working as a scriptwriter. He was drinking heavily and his health got steadily worse. Eventually in 1940, he died of a heart attack.
