F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Guide To Travel
The famous author of The Great Gatsby lived and wrote in many places – from St. Paul to New Orleans and beyond.
Check out these great destinations related to Mr. Fitzgerald:
- Paris – The “City of Lights” and immortal destination for all those with a literary bent.
- New York City – Part of Gatsby is set here. Scott also wrote The Beautiful and Damned while living in the Big Apple.
- The French Riviera – Looking for the peace to write, Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda set out for the beautiful azure coast and St. Raphael.
- Hollywood – Fitzgerald headed west to work as a screenwriter. He was crafting a new novel – The Last Tycoon – when he died.
- The Lost Generation – No, not a destination but a “place” that remains symbolic of one of the allures of travel – the search for something new, a new way of seeing the world.
