#160. Flappers and Philosophers

Flappers and Philosophers (7 Hours): First published in 1920... Filtered through Fitzgerald's remarkable intensity of vision and fed by his matchless imagination, these tales shimmer with the exuberance of youth during the Jazz Age. On the heels of his triumphant This Side of Paradise, the novel that transformed a gifted young writer into a literary sensation, this sublime short story collection plumbs the depths of human feeling with a perspicacity that is quintessential Fitzgerald.
