Although F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for the kind of subtle, polished social commentary found in his masterpiece The Great Gatsby, his little-known novella May Day is unique in that it is the most raw, direct socio-political commentary he ever wrote, and one of the most desperate works in his oeuvre. It is a dark, biting story in which rich, drunken Yale students in town for a reunion, hordes of soldiers returning from the First World War, and the workers of a small socialist newspaper all converge in New York City on May Day. This is the first and only stand-alone version of this rarity.
