Product Description
Fitzgerald was an early 20th century writer famed for his short stories. This collection of stories is set in the era Fitzgerald is most familiar with. This volume has a table on contents with a brief description of the stories written by Fitzgerald.
Download Description
The taller of the two was named Carrol Key, a name hinting that in his veins, however thinly diluted by generations of degeneration, ran blood of some potentiality. But one could stare endlessly at the long, chinless face, the dull, watery eyes, and high cheek-bones, without finding suggestion of either ancestral worth or native resourcefulness.

 One star not for the content, but for the edition. July 5, 2008
I recently got this book simply because it contains "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which I've been dying to read. My mistake was buying this book without checking out any of the publisher/editor information beforehand. Six pages into the story, I began to realize that this edition is filled with ridiculous typos and silly mistakes (such as quotation marks in places they shouldn't be), and I find it hard to believe that this is how Fitzgerald wrote the story. There is absolutely no publisher or editor information given in the book itself. I haven't bothered to look at any of the other stories, but I can't imagine they're any better. Save yourself the trouble and buy another edition; I wish I had.
 Satirizing the selfishness of the wealthy July 20, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Tales Of The Jazz Age is an anthology of classic short stories by the renowned 20th Century American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who is best known for his enduring classic "The Great Gatsby". Satirizing the selfishness of the wealthy, depicting revelry that escalates into a destructive mob, while offering a sharp look at the flaws of society, and enhanced with introductions to each story by the author, Tales Of The Jazz Age is highly recommended, and this Pine Street Books edition would make a perfect choice for school and community libraries needing to replace worn copies of previous editions.

Enhanced with an extensive record of variants, explanatory notes, as well as an extensive introduction concerning the selection and editorial principles of the anthology, Tales of the Jazz Age is a superb edition of classic literature that would grace any academic or library collection -- and is "must" reading for F. Scott Fitzgerald enthusiasts and fans.
