Description: F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for his classic novels The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night, but he was best known in his lifetime as a short-story writer. This collection of his short masterpieces shows why -- they are glittering tales set in the Jazz Age that capture not only the fashions of the times, but a remarkable depth of human feeling. Stories like Bernice Bobs Her Hair, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button show off Fitzgerald's sharp social insight, his intensity and his "gift for conveying the emotional tenor of characters and situations" (Houston Post). The prose in these stories was written to be savored slowly, as it is here by a variety of actors who perform these stories in their entirety. Hearing them performed will leave you with no doubt that Fitzgerald transcends the Jazz Age and is one of the most gifted American short-story writers of all time.
