Tales of the Jazz Age

About the book

"Tales of the Jazz Age" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a collection of 11 short stories published in 1922. Divided into three parts—"My Last Flappers," "Fantasies," and "Unclassified Masterpieces"—the collection includes "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and explores themes ranging from the indolent rich to a broader spectrum of social classes. Fitzgerald provided his own commentary on each story, demonstrating what critics called his "authorial self-consciousness." The collection showcases his transitional "second manner" as a writer.
