Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in September 24, 1896 and died in December 21, 1940. He was an American fiction writer, whose works helped to illustrate the ostentation and excess of the Jazz Age. While he reached popular success, fame, and fortune in his lifetime, he did not receive much critical acclaim until after his death. He was Perhaps the most notable member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. Fitzgerald is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and ...., The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published after his death.
"Winter Dreams" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that first appeared in Metropolitan Magazine in December 1922. It was collected in All the Sad Young Men in 1926. It is considered one of Fitzgerald's finest stories and is frequently anthologized.
