Jazz Age novelist and short story writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. Fitzgerald was the self-styled spokesman of the “Lost Generation,” Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that feature themes of youth, despair, and age. Fountain pen signature of Irish author St. John Ervine, and signed underneath, “30.1.20…and his admirer, F. Scott Fitzgerald,” on an off-white 6.25 x 4 album page. In fine condition, with small mounting remnants to each corner tip, and a touch of mild toning. A splendid and unusual example of this desirable literary autograph. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
