About This Book
**'It was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire.'**
Scott Fitzgerald's first stories caught the spangled extravagances if the Jazz Age with such brilliance that hee was catapulted to thr forefront of American society, a writer who was to become a legend through his lifestyle as well as is work.
In this later selection of short stories and autobiographical pieces, he traces a path through the wild surface-patterns of glitter and excess to look again - with nostalgia, with affection, often with more than a little despair - at the ways in which he and his fellow Americans had been affected by 'the greatest,gaudiest spree in history'.
