Scott Fitzgerald wrote the works that brought him instant fame, mastering the glittering aphoristic prose & keen social observation that would distinguish all his writing. This LOA volume brings together 4 volumes that collectively offer the fullest literary expression of one of the most fascinating eras in American life. "This Side of Paradise" (1920) gave Fitzgerald the early success that defined & haunted him for the rest of his career. Offering in its Princeton chapters the most enduring portrait of college life in American literature, this lyrical novel records the ardent & often confused longings of its hero's struggles to find love & to formulate a philosophy of life. "Flappers" & Philosophers" (1920), a collection of accomplished short stories, includes such classics as "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong," "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," and "The Ice Palace." Fitzgerald continues his dissection of a self-destructive era in his 2nd novel, "The Beautiful and Damned" (1922), as the self-styled aristocrat Anthony Patch & his beautiful wife, Gloria, are cut off from an inheritance and forced to endure the excruciating dwindling of their fortune. Here New York City, playground for the pleasure-loving Patches & brutal mirror of their dissipation, is portrayed more vividly than anywhere else in Fitzgerald's work. "Tales of the Jazz Age" (1922), his 2nd collection of stories, includes the novella "May Day," featuring interlocking tales of debutantes, soldiers, & socialists brought together in the uncertain aftermath of World War I, & "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz," a fable in which the excesses of the Jazz Age take the hallucinatory form of a palace of unfathomable opulence hidden deep in the Montana Rockies. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.

Octavo, original publisher's green cloth, pictorial endpapers, silk ribbon bound in. Signed by Jackson R. Bryer on the colophon. Bryer is a Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Maryland and the co-founde…r and president of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society. He wrote the chronology and notes for this volume. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by R.D. Scudellari. Author photo courtesy of George Eastman House. F. Scott Fitzgerald: Novels and Stories 1920â"1922 (The Library of America, 2000), edited by Jackson R. Bryer, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Maryland, is the authoritative gathering of Fitzgerald's early work â" the concentrated burst of fiction that in the space of just two years made him the most celebrated young writer in America and the defining literary voice of the Jazz Age. At the outset of what Fitzgerald himself called "the greatest, the gaudiest spree in history," these four volumes collectively offer the fullest literary expression of one of the most fascinating eras in American life, mastering a glittering aphoristic prose and keen social observation that would distinguish all his subsequent writing while sounding, beneath the era's wild cacophony, a plaintive strain of lament for the wasted potential of youth. This Side of Paradise (1920), offering in its Princeton chapters the most enduring portrait of college life in American literature, gave Fitzgerald the early success that defined and haunted him for the rest of his career; Flappers and Philosophers (1920) gathers accomplished short stories including "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" and "The Ice Palace"; The Beautiful and Damned (1922) traces the excruciating dissipation of the self-styled aristocrat Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife Gloria; and Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) contains the novella "May Day" and the celebrated fable "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz.".
