"An extension of The Great Gatsby, enlarging the examination of the effects of wealth on character." – Bruccoli on "The Rich Boy," the first story in the collection.

Fitzgerald's third collection of short stories, this book followed directly in the wake of Gatsby's success. The stories themselves, including "Absolution" and "The Rich Boy, " were composed both before and after Gatsby, taking on similar themes, and building a larger conversation with the beloved novel. Copies rarely survive in as beautiful shape as this one, but the additional provenance feels particularly apt: it was gifted to sorority member Charlotte Cooper at Syracuse University's Alpha Phi House.

A tremendously fitting Jazz-Age provenance with an otherwise pristine copy.
