Synopsis

Flappers and Philosophers marked F. Scott Fitzgeralds entry into the realm of the short story, in which he adroitly proved himself a master of the mechanism of shortstory technique (Boston Transcript). Several of his most wellknown tales are represented in this classic collection of eight, including Bernice Bobs Her Hair and Head and Shoulders, with their particularly O. Henrylike twists; the poignant Benediction and The CutGlass Bowl; and The Offshore Pirate, the octets opening and most romantic story (New York Times Book Review). Filtered through Fitzgeralds remarkable intensity of vision and fed by his matchless imagination, these tales shimmer with the exuberance of youth during the Jazz Age. This sublime shortstory collection plumbs the depths of human feeling with a perspicacity that is quintessential Fitzgerald.
