About this title

Synopsis

During the two decades of his literary life, F. Scott Fitzgerald's fame rested squarely on his achievement as one of America's most prolific, gifted and highly paid writers of short stories and novellas. Forty-three of these works are assembled in this volume.

Review

"One pleasure of rereading Fitzgerald's stories now is to rediscover just how good some of them in fact are, and how brilliant a handful." -- Jay McInerney, "The New York Review of Books"

"Bruccoli gives [us]...a virtually new and vastly amplified Fitzgerald." -- Joseph Coates, "Chicago Tribune"

"More than enough to re-establish Fitzgerald as a master of the American short story." -- Mark Caldwell, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"

"This is a valuable collection, whether one reads the stories to delight in Fitzgerald's style, to conjure up a lost era, to learn more about the career of a great American novelist, or simply to gain insight into the human condition." -- Leonard A. Podis, "The Cleveland Plain Dealer"
