TALES OF THE JAZZ AGE

Fitzgerald's second collection of short stories, Tales of the Jazz Age includes two of his best stories, 'May Day' and 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz' as well as 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'.

The only critical edition available in paperback of this collection as it was first published.

The eleven stories demonstrate Fitzgerald's talent and versatility as a writer of short fiction and his wry tone across a range of styles including one-act plays, parody, and fantasies.

Fitzgerald scholar Jackson R. Bryer provides an in-depth appreciation of the stories and examines the making of the volume and its reception.

Includes up-to-date bibliography, chronology of the author, and explanatory notes identifying contemporary references and allusions.
