Beschreibungen
Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) is a collection of eleven short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Divided into three separate parts, according to subject matter, it includes one of his better-known short stories, "e;The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"e;. All of the stories had been published earlier, independently, in either Metropolitan Magazine (New York), Saturday Evening Post, Smart Set, Collier's, Chicago Sunday Tribune, or Vanity Fair. The Jelly-Bean: This is a Southern story, with the setting laid in the small Lily of Tarleton, Georgia. Fitzgerald wrote that he had "e;a profound affection for Tarleton, but somehow whenever I write a story about it I receive letters from all over the South denouncing me in no uncertain terms."e; Written shortly after his first novel was published, the author also collaborated with his wife on certain scenes. The story momentarily follows the life of a "e;jelly-bean"e;, or idler, named Jim Powell. An invitation to a dance with the old crowd revives his dreams of social advancement and love, until the consequences of drink and power of money come through and ruin them. The Camel's Back: In the short introduction to this short story, Fitzgerald wrote, "e;I suppose that of all the stories I have ever written this one cost me the least travail and perhaps gave me the most amusement."e; The story, he confessed, was written "e;with the express purpose of buying a platinum and diamond wrist watch which cost six hundred dollars"e;, and took seven hours to finish. Though it was the least-liked story by Fitzgerald in the volume, it was included in the O. Henry Memorial Collection (of the O. Henry Award) of 1920. May Day: Published as a novelette in the The Smart Set in July, 1920, "e;May Day"e; relates a series of events which took place in the spring of the previous year, during the "e;general hysteria"e; which inaugurated the Jazz Age. Porcelain and Pink: A play, published in The Smart Set in January, 1920.
