Scott Fitzgerald's first story collection, \u003cem\u003eFlappers and Philosophers\u003c\/em\u003e, appeared in 1920 on the heels of his debut novel, \u003cem\u003eThis Side of Paradise\u003c\/em\u003e, and immediately established him a master of popular fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLove stories such as 'The Offshore Pirate' and 'Head and Shoulders' capture the spectacle and fantasy of the Jazz Age, celebrating that modern icon of feminine self-possession, the flapper, while comedies of manner like 'Bernice Bobs Her Hair' and 'The Ice Palace' showcase Fitzgerald's eye for humour. In addition to these four classic tales, which first appeared in \u003cem\u003eThe Saturday Evening Post, \u003c\/em\u003e this edition highlights the author's proficiency with other crowd-pleasing story types: from Gothic fiction ('The Cut-Glass Bowl') to didactic moral stories ('The Four Fists'), from satire ('Dalyrimple Goes Wrong') to spiritual quests ('Benediction'), Fitzgerald tried his hand at many genres---and succeeded at all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e F.
