He was the self-styled spokesman of the &quot;Lost Generation&quot; and author of The Great Gatsby (1925). His debut novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Flappers and Philosophers (1920) was his first collection of short stories.

    <body><![CDATA[The Great Gatsby is definitely better.  Perhaps I say that because the length of it allowed Fitzgerald to draw out his characters more, to develop scenes.  Some of these stories felt unfinished to me.  This could be partially a difference in the literary styles of early 20th-century America compared...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17743676">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[First published in 1920, <em>Flappers and Philosophers</em> marked F. Scott Fitzgerald's entry into the realm of the short story, in which he adroitly proved himself &quot;a master of the mechanism of short story technique&quot; <em>(Boston Transcript).</em> Several of his most beloved tales are represented in this collection of eight, including &quot;Bernice Bobs Her Hair&quot; and &quot;Head and Shoulders,&quot; with their particularly O. Henry-like twists; the poignant &quot;Benediction&quot; and &quot;The Cut-Glass Bowl&quot;; and &quot;The Offshore Pirate,&quot; the octet's opening and most romantic story. It is a collection of masterful short works from an American literary icon that led <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> to note that &quot;[no one] can fail to recognize Mr. Fitzgerald's talent and genius.&quot;<p><strong>Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. Special features include critical perspectives, suggestions for further reading, and a unique visual essay composed of period photographs that help bring every word to life.</strong><p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I would have to agree with Fitzgerald himself when he said that his short stories were far from his best work. While the stories in Flappers and Philosophers are stylistically Fitzgerald, his themes are sophomoric and underdeveloped.

    <![CDATA[No matter how beautiful or brilliant a girl may be, the reputation of not being frequently cut in on makes her position at a dance unfortunate. Perhaps boys prefer her company to that of the butterflies with whom they dance a dozen times an but, youth in this jazz-nourished generation is temperamentally restless, and the idea of fox-trotting more than one full fox trot with the same girl is distasteful, not to say odious. When it comes to several dances and the intermissions between she can be quite sure that a young man, once relieved, will never tread on her wayward toes again.]]>

    <![CDATA[First published in 1920, <em>Flappers and Philosophers</em> marked F. Scott Fitzgerald's entry into the realm of the short story, in which he adroitly proved himself &quot;a master of the mechanism of short story technique&quot; <em>(Boston Transcript).</em> Several of his most beloved tales are represented in this collection of eight, including &quot;Bernice Bobs Her Hair&quot; and &quot;Head and Shoulders,&quot; with their particularly O. Henry-like twists; the poignant &quot;Benediction&quot; and &quot;The Cut-Glass Bowl&quot;; and &quot;The Offshore Pirate,&quot; the octet's opening and most romantic story. It is a collection of masterful short works from an American literary icon that led <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> to note that &quot;[no one] can fail to recognize Mr. Fitzgerald's talent and genius.&quot;<p><strong>Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. Special features include critical perspectives, suggestions for further reading, and a unique visual essay composed of period photographs that help bring every word to life.</strong><p></p></p>]]>

He was the self-styled spokesman of the &quot;Lost Generation&quot; and author of The Great Gatsby (1925). His debut novel, This Side of Paradise (1920) examines the lives and morality of post-World War I youth. Flappers and Philosophers (1920) was his first collection of short stories. His second novel, The Beautiful and Damned (1922), demonstrates an evolution and maturity in his writing, and provides an excellent portrait of America during the Jazz Age, as does Tales of the Jazz Age (1922).]]>

    <![CDATA[First published in 1920, <em>Flappers and Philosophers</em> marked F. Scott Fitzgerald's entry into the realm of the short story, in which he adroitly proved himself &quot;a master of the mechanism of short story technique&quot; <em>(Boston Transcript).</em> Several of his most beloved tales are represented in this collection of eight, including &quot;Bernice Bobs Her Hair&quot; and &quot;Head and Shoulders,&quot; with their particularly O. Henry-like twists; the poignant &quot;Benediction&quot; and &quot;The Cut-Glass Bowl&quot;; and &quot;The Offshore Pirate,&quot; the octet's opening and most romantic story. It is a collection of masterful short works from an American literary icon that led <em>The New York Times Book Review</em> to note that &quot;[no one] can fail to recognize Mr. Fitzgerald's talent and genius.&quot;<p><strong>Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. Special features include critical perspectives, suggestions for further reading, and a unique visual essay composed of period photographs that help bring every word to life.</strong><p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>Classic. I'm a little biased, as Fitzgerald is pretty much my favorite author, but, I absolutely loved these short stories. They were written as beautifully as his novels, and often had O.Henry-style twists and surprises, the best of which being &quot;The Cut Glass Bowl.&quot; ]]></body>
