About this title

About the Author

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 – December 21, 1940) was one of the greatest American authors. In fact he is regarded by many as one the greatest ever authors. He published only four novels but a myriad of short stories. He chronicled (and effectively defined) an age but his writing also transcended this to allow insights into humanity only found with the greatest of novelists.

From AudioFile

The title story in this collection is Fitzgerald's comic masterpiece, in which a baby is born at age 70 and proceeds through his life growing younger. Scott Brick narrates this marvelous story with enthusiasm, using a variety of subtle voices for the different characters. His reading highlights the astonishing aspects of this situation, as well as the underlying humor of the tale. In "Babylon Revisited," Ray Porter's understated reading expresses the nostalgia and regret of Charlie Wales, who returns to Paris after the onset of the Depression and reflects on the way he lived and flaunted his wealth in his halcyon days. Three other stories, "The Lost Decade," "Three Hours Between Planes," and "The Bridal Party," round out this sample of Fitzgerald's short fiction.
