Scott Fitzerald described the youth of his time as a new generation grwon up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faith in man shaken.

The stories in this collection capture the spirit of that generation with superlative skill. These stories take us into the privileged and indulgent society where failure, despair and madness forever whisper and threaten behind the music and laughter.

These stories are the best Fitzerald ever wrote,alive with the wit, perception and emotional power that were to make the author the symbol of the Jazz Age
