Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald fue un escritor estadounidense cuyas obras se asocian a menudo con la "Era del Jazz", una época que presuntamente acuñó. Es considerado uno de los más grandes escritores del siglo XX, y sus creaciones exploran temas de juventud, desesperación y vejez. La prosa de Fitzgerald capta el ambiente de la "Generación Perdida", estadounidenses que alcanzaron la mayoría de edad durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Su estilo distintivo evoca el espíritu de su tiempo, examinando las complejidades de los deseos y desilusiones humanas.

Nicole tiene un secreto, Dick una debilidad, y juntos se dirigen irremediablemente hacia las rocas contra las que su aventura puede estrellarse
La ironía y el descuido, la emoción y distancia, la historia del protagonista y su trágico final parecen significar toda la experiencia histórica americana
