THE LOST GENERATION
The young people that were left after the war were called the "Lost Generation."
The term came from Gertrude Stein witnessing the owner of a garage saying to his young employee, "You are all a lost generation."
Hemingway used the phrase as an epigraph to his novel The Sun Also Rises.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on September 24, 1896.
He was thirteen when his first story was published; it was a detective story for his school newspaper.
He dropped out of college and joined the US Army. He wasn't afraid of dying in the Great War; however, he was afraid of dying without seeing his hard work come to fruition. So, he wrote a story called The Romanic Egotist. It was a whole novel.
