From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby (his most famous), and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with age and despair.

Lost manuscripts
In 2004, the University of South Carolina purchased a newly discovered cache of 2,000 pages of screenplay work that Fitzgerald wrote for MGM while in Hollywood.[5] The cache demonstrates that Fitzgerald put considerable effort into his attempts at screenwriting during his final years.[5] He approached each screenplay assignment by MGM as if it were a novel, and he wrote extensive back-stories for every character before typing a single word of dialogue.[5] Despite these herculean efforts, the studio nonetheless found his work unsatisfactory and chose not to renew his contract.[5]
In 2015, The Strand Magazine published an 8,000-word lost manuscript by Fitzgerald entitled "Temperature", dated July 1939.[6] Long thought lost, the manuscript was found by a researcher in Princeton's archives.[6] The story recounts the illness and decline of an alcoholic writer among Hollywood idols in Los Angeles while suffering lingering fevers and indulging in light-hearted romance with a Hollywood actress.[6] Two years later, Scribner's published a rediscovered cache of Fitzgerald's short stories in a collection titled I'd Die For You.[7]
In 2018, a new story featuring Pat Hobby was found in the Fitzgerald Papers at Princeton University by Anne Margaret Daniel. This typescript was untitled and undated, but it presumably was written in the summer of 1940; it was published in 2025 in The New Yorker with the title "Double Time For Pat Hobby".[8][9]
