He had a vision of becoming a Princeton football star, but he weighed only 138 pounds and he was cut from the team on the first day.

He found that he could see America better from a distance, and he began to write his novel about a wealthy bootlegger named Jay Gatsby ... Fitzgerald worked on the novel every day that summer, writing in pencil, drinking Coca-Cola and gin, and reading Keats whenever he needed inspiration. He struggled with the title and considered calling it 'Under the Red, White and Blue,' 'Among the Ash Heaps and Millionaires,' and 'The High-Bouncing Lover.' When he sent the first draft to his editor Maxwell Perkins, just five months after he'd started writing, he thought it should be called 'Trimalchio in West Egg' or just 'Trimalchio.' Perkins suggested The Great Gatsby."

Literary Notes: September 24, 2003 from Writer's Almanac. "By the time the stock market crashed in 1929, Fitzgerald had started to crash too. His marriage was coming apart—Zelda had her first nervous breakdown in 1930. The changes that came with the Great Depression made F. Scott Fitzgerald seem like ancient history, along with everything else from the 'Roaring Twenties' ... His books, including The Great Gatsby (1925), did not sell well. In 1929, the Saturday Evening Post paid him $4,000 per story, but his total royalties on seven books that year were only $31.77 ..."

He flunked out of Princeton, joined the army, then became an advertising man in New York City at $90 a month ... he and his wife became famous as Scott and Zelda, symbols of the Jazz Age of the 1920s ... he spent lavishly to support their life and his alcoholism and the treatment of Zelda’s mental illness.

Lardner wrote a lot of satire, and he once wrote of Fitzgerald, 'Mr. Fitzgerald sprung into fame with his novel This Side of Paradise which he turned out when only three years old and wrote the entire book with one hand.

And she liked the lieutenant, who was small, blond, and handsome, and whose name was Scott Fitzgerald. They fell in love ..."
Tuesday 3/10 [March 10, 1998] from Writer's Almanac. "Zelda Fitzgerald died on this day [March 10] in Asheville, North Carolina, 1948. She'd been hospitalized since the early 1930s after a couple of nervous breakdowns. Her husband, F.

On the night of March 10 the main building of the hospital caught fire and she was locked in her room on the top floor. She was laid to rest alongside Scott in a Maryland cemetery."
