About this Item

First edition. Two issues in one. Octavo. 96pp. Stapled printed wrappers. Oxidation to the staples and light edgwear, near fine. Contains the first and only publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald's story, "The High Cost of Macaroni." The story was originally written as the third part of a triptych for *The Saturday Evening Post* but was never used. It features a somewhat fictionalized version of himself and Zelda, and their travels in Rome during the Winter of 1924-1925, shortly before the publication of *The Great Gatsby*. While the story itself was never published during Fitzgerald's lifetime, two events from it were later reworked into pivotal scenes in the novel, *Tender Is the Night.* The magazine also contains a very early poem by poet William Dickey, "Meditation: Evening," published before his first book and while he was a graduate student at the State University of Iowa. *Bruccoli* C313.
