The Jazz Age

by F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald's story collection TALES OF THE JAZZ AGE, first published in 1922, contains some of his most celebrated short pieces, including "Winter Dreams," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" (a story Fitzgerald said was "designed utterly for my own amusement"), "The Jelly Bean," and "May Day"(which in his introduction he called "a somewhat unpleasant tale").

Publisher Notes

Even the American Heritage Dictionary acknowledges that F. Scott Fitzgerald "epitomized the Jazz Age." And nowhere among his writings are the gin, pith, and morning-after squint of that era better illuminated than in these short essays. Selected in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Fitzgerald's birth, these shockingly candid personal memoirs--some written with his wife, Zelda--furnish nothing less than the autobiography of "the lost generation" of the 1920's.
"More than any other writer of these times," Malcom Cowley wrote in The New Yorker, "Fitzgerald had a sense of living in history." "The Jazz Age" celebrates F. Scott Fitzgerald's acumen for reportage and also offers a startling, tragic self-portrait of one of the century's greatest writers.
