From the Paper:

"The Twenties was a decade of exuberance, with a rising stock market that no one yet knew presaged a great and sudden fall. Of all the literary figures of the period, the one most associated with this decade was F. Scott Fitzgerald, a writer who chronicled the changes taking place with a critical eye, seeing both the strengths of the society of the time and its weaknesses and detailing both in his fiction. "
