Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby, which is set in the Roaring 20's. He is said to have written this book about himself. He was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and his father was an alcoholic. Due to his family's exile from the social elite, he grew up very aware of wealth and privilege. He went to Princeton but never graduated. After he published his first novel in 1920 he went to Paris with his wife, Zelda. He had a lifestyle much like Gatsby's while he was in Paris. But in reality, he was struggling to fund his lavish lifestyle while still producing the work he wanted to. Fitzgerald produced several successful works of literature, but soon his success was tinged with misfortune. He became an alcoholic, and his wife became very mentally ill. History.com says that she "collapsed into madness". They went back to America in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression. His final published novel in 1934 was not successful. He died in 1941 at the age of 44 while working on another novel.
