Description
This volume brings together, for the first time, eleven uncollected stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald and all of Zelda Fitzgerald's short stories. The Fitzgeralds rarely collaborated on the actual writing of stories but, as shown in this collection, they put into their writing the feelings generated by their life together. As their daughter, Scottie Fitzgerald Smith, writes in the foreword, these stories "all have one thing in common: a sense of breathlessness, as if even their authors still were gasping at the wonders glimpsed as they flew past Heaven."
User reviews
LibraryThing member DanielSTJ
A hit and miss series of unrelated short stories. It's worth the read for any serious readers of Fitzgerald's fiction and Zelda's inclusions are more interesting than one might divine.
Worth the read.
