F. Scott Fitzgerald's second collection of short stories contains some of his best-known tales of the glittering era he gave a name to.
Published in 1922, "Tales of the Jazz Age" featured not only the flappers and lost young men Fitzgerald had made his name with, but a greater variety of characters and scenes. The critically admired novella "May Day" contrasts its drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans battling socialists in the streets. Here, too, are several imaginative stories that Fitzgerald described as "fantasies," including "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," about a man who ages in reverse, and "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz," a surreal fable about the excesses of greed. "Tales of the Jazz Age" not only furthered Fitzgerald's reputation as a master storyteller but cemented his place as the spokesman of an age.
