FITZGERALD IS THE LITERARY SPOKESMAN OF THE JAZZ AGE.FITZGERALD’S FICTIONAL WORLD IS THE BEST EMBODIMENT OF THE SPIRIT OF THE JAZZ AGE, IN WHICH HE SHOWS A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN THE UPPER-CLASS SOCIETY, ESPECIALLY THE UPPER-CLASS YOUNG PEOPLE. YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN THE 1920S HAD A SENSE OF RECKLESS CONFIDENCE NOT ONLY ABOUT MONEY BUT ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL. BENEATH THEIR MASKS OF RELAXATION AND JOVIALITY THERE WAS ONLY STERILITY, MEANINGLESSNESS AND FUTILITY, AND AMID THE GRANDEUR AND EXTRAVAGANCE A SPIRITUAL WASTELAND AND A HINT OF DECADENCE AND MORAL DECAY. THIS UNDENIABLE JUXTAPOSITION OF APPEARANCE WITH REALITY, OF THE PRETENSE OF GAIETY WITH THE TENSION UNDERNEATH, IS EASILY RECOGNIZABLE IN FITZGERALD'S NOVELS AND STORIES.
