Published a year after The Great Gatsby, this collection of nine short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald includes two of his most famous - the beautifully elegiac 'The Rich Boy' and 'Winter Dreams.' Like Gatsby, these two tales feature wealthy protagonists - the old-money Anson Hunter and the self-made man Dexter Green - who struggle to come to terms with lost love. The short story 'Absolution', in which a boy confesses to a priest, was initially written as a background piece to Gatsby. Also containing 'The Baby Party,' 'Rags Martin-Jones and the Pr-nce of W-les', 'The Adjuster,' 'Hot and Cold Blood,' 'The Sensible Thing' and 'Gretchen's Forty Winks' - all of which describe in various ways the 1920s society that Fitzgerald himself inhabited - All the Sad Young Men is a masterpiece of twentieth-century American fiction.
Autorenporträt
Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and educated at the Newman School and at Princeton. This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920 to instant acclaim. He soon after married Zelda Sayre, and the two became the most famous American couple of the Jazz Age-as known for Fitzgerald's writing as their legendary debauchery. Until 1931 they divided their time among New York, Paris, and the Riviera. When they were forced by money and health problems to return to the States, Fitzgerald became a writer for Hollywood movie studios. He died in 1940 while working on his unfinished novel of Hollywood, The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald published The Beautiful and Damned, his second novel, in 1922. His other works include Flappers and Philosophers (1920), Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), The Great Gatsby (1925), All the Sad Young Men (1926), Tender Is the Night (1934), and Taps at Reveille (1935).
