These later short stories of Scott Fitzgerald all reflect the insincerities, greedy ambitions and broken dreams of life during the Jazz Age. Collected in this volume are pieces that span the last years of Fitzgerald's life, when he knew that the romantic promise of the early Twenties had faded forever. But the billiance of his writing remains undimmed, and with such stories at The Bridal Party, Crazy Sunday and The Lost Decade he shows himself once more to be the master of his genre and the unchallenged spokesman of his times.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American writer of novels and short stories, whose works have been seen as evocative of the Jazz Age, a term he himself allegedly coined. He is regarded as one of the greatest twentieth century writers. Fitzgerald was of the self-styled "Lost Generation," Americans born in the 1890s who came of age during World War I. He finished four novels, left a fifth unfinished, and wrote dozens of short stories that treat themes of youth, despair, and age. He was married to Zelda Fitzgerald.
