(Bruccoli A10.1.a). The Vegetable, Fitzgerald's only play, was the last publication before the release of his magnum opus, The Great Gatsby. The first performance of The Vegetable occurred on November 19, 1923 at the Apollo Theatre in Atlantic City, NJ. The show was not well received, with Zelda Fitzgerald later writing that members of the audience were "so obviously bored," and some left during the second act. (Bruccoli, Epic Grandeur, p. 219).

First edition, first printings of each of F. Scott Fitzgeraldâs works. Octavo, 10 volumes, bound by full green morocco by the Harcourt Bindery, gilt titles to the spine, raised bands, gilt ruled to the front and rear panels, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, twin rule to turn ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. F. Scott Fitzgerald signature on the front panel of each volume. In fine condition. An exceptional set. Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise, displayed a sophisticated cynicism masking keen psychological insight and sensitivity to the falseness of the ideals of the so-called "jazz era" in America, following World War I.

With the publication of The Great Gatsby, the story of a gross and ostentatious man who gained immense material success but who destroyed himself and those around him in the process, F. Scott Fitzgerald's full powers as a novelist were revealed; he was ranked by many critics as one of the pre-eminent American writers. In his later writings, as exemplified by the short story collections All the Sad Young Men and Taps at Reveille, and the novel Tender is the Night, his central theme shifted to what he deemed the inevitable corruption of the individual by the blind crassness of modern society.…
