Short Fiction

Although perhaps best known for his novels, F. Scott Fitzgerald was also a prolific writer of short fiction, having published a large number of short works in periodicals and collections throughout his literary career.

Fitzgerald mostly wrote about post-WWI America, the "Jazz Age," and his stories tend to focus on the habits and excesses of the upper class.

This collection includes many of his stories published in periodicals, as well as several of his collections: Flappers and Philosophers, Tales of the Jazz Age, and All the Sad Young Men.

Readers who love the glittering excess and quiet melancholy of the Jazz Age will find much to savor in this wide-ranging collection of Fitzgerald's short fiction.
