FLAPPERS AND PHILOSOPHERS

The first short story collection by F. Scott Fitzgerald, &ldquo,Flappers and Philosophers&rdquo, was originally published in 1920. The eight stories of the collection are set in the era for which the author is best known, the Jazz Age, a term Fitzgerald himself coined. While perhaps best known for his novels, Fitzgerald was a prolific and accomplished short story writer and found the most fame and fortune during his career in writing short stories for magazines, such as the Saturday Evening Post. Included in this collection are some of his most famous and romantic short stories, such as &ldquo,The Offshore Pirate&rdquo, and &ldquo,Head and Shoulders,&rdquo, which mirror many of the themes in his novels
