Scott Fitzgerald, an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. The stories in this collection are excellent examples of the writing skills of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and are entertaining with a diverse subject matter. It is a great escape into the wild and vibrant Jazz Age era. Divided into three separate parts, according to subject matter, it includes one of his better-known short stories, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button . Several of the stories had also been published earlier, independently, in either The Metropolitan, Saturday Evening Post, Smart Set, Collier's, Chicago Tribune, or Vanity Fair.
