The Collected Short Stories of F.Scott Fitzgerald (Penguin Modern Classics)

Customer Reviews

The most comprehensive collection containing 42 stories - By: , 26 Feb 2002
This includes alll the most famous stories, including "The Diamond as big as the Ritz" & a whole series of Pat Hobbie tales, describing the bleak, but blackly humourous adventures of a fading movie script writer. Some are poignant, about lost young love, like "Three hours between planes", others like "The Baby Party" & "Bernice bobs her hair" draw on Scott Fitzgerald's amazing perceptiveness about the darkness of female human nature. This book shows the breadth of his observations, & the need to make these commercial in order to pay for his & Zelda's hedonistic lifestyle. The reader learns a lot about their own vanities & insecurities, but always emerges in awe of this genius writer.
