Tales of the Jazz Age (Art Deco)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button` sees a baby born in 1860 begin life as an old man and then age backwards. F. Scott Fitzgerald hinted at this kind of inversion when he called his era `a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken`. Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this `Lost Generation` been more vividly preserved than in Fitzgerald`s short fiction. Spanning the early twentieth-century American landscape, this collection captures, with Fitzgerald`s signature blend of enchantment and disillusionment, America during the Jazz Age.
