Synopsis "Flappers and Philosophers"

"On the whole, Flappers and Philosophers represents the triumph of form over matter... there is no telling what good fortune awaits this volume of excellent short stories-a form more to the liking of the American people than the novel."-The New York Times (1920)Flappers and Philosophers (1920) is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald that is the prelude to the themes evident in his novels. The stories feature his iconic characters, strong-willed women and disconsolate men, characteristic of The Lost Generation. The stories included in this edition: "Benediction," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Cut-Glass Bowl," "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong," "Head and Shoulders," "The Four Fists," "The Ice Palace," and "The Offshore Pirate" all resonate with the colorful prose that made Fitzgerald famous. Popular at the time and a classic today, fans of The Great Gatsby (1925) and Fitzgerald will thoroughly enjoy reading these well-crafted stories.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 24, 1896-Hollywood, California, December 21, 1940) was a military officer, host, novelist, and American writer, widely known as one of the finest authors of the 20th century, whose works are paradigmatic of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the twenties.

He wrote five novels: The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Last Tycoon, which, although unfinished, was published after his death. He also wrote numerous short stories, many of which deal with youth and promise, age and despair.
