The Great Gatsby and Other Stories
The Great Gatsby and Other Stories | F. Scott Fitzgerald
1 post | 1 read
Love, ambition, and wealth take center stage in this collection of classic stories from the Jazz Age. Often described as the “Great American Novel,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is the quintessential story of love, ambition, and wealth in the Roaring Twenties. In the Long Island village of West Egg, the rich and mysterious Jay Gatsby pursues the now-married Daisy Buchanan, whom he last saw five years ago, before amassing his fortune. Along with the eleven short stories from Fitzgerald’s collection Tales of the Jazz Age—including “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”—this Word Cloud edition makes a fine addition to anyone’s bookshelf.

I have read the Great Gatsby a few times and it remains one of my favorite books. I loved a few of these short stories just as much. I did notice and was frustrated by Fitzgerald‘s habit of only writing about upper class or upper-middle class people and the way he describes women in some of his stories, but I suppose that is a result of the era. My favorites were The Diamond as Big as the Ritz and The Lee‘s of Happiness
