Tales of the Jazz Age is a collection of eleven short stories divided into three parts; My Last Flappers, Fantasies and Unclassified Masterpieces each touching on separate subject matter. Each stands alone in style and interest, May Day contrasts drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans battling socialists in the streets, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, is a fantasy about a man who ages in reverse, and A Diamond as Big as the Ritz is a surreal fable of excess, and all are an enjoyable glimpse or a time past.

Autorenporträt
Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920 to instant acclaim. Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda embodied the spirit of the Jazz Age-the glamour and grit of which Fitzgerald captured in stories and novels that powerfully resonate today, including The Beautiful and Damned and Tender Is the Night. Haunted by alcoholism, marital problems, and Zelda's illness, Fitzgerald took his immense literary talents to the dream factories of Hollywood where he died in 1940 while working on his unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon.
