Forging AheadBy Francis Scott FitzgeraldWherever she was, became a beautiful and enchanted place to Basil, but he did not think of it that way. He thought the fascin- ation was inherent in the locality, and long afterward a com- monplace street or the mere name of a city would exude a pe- culiar glow, a sustained sound, that struck his soul alert with delight.

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 Love of the Last Tycoon", was published posthumously. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with age and despair.
