About “Tales of the Jazz Age”

Published in 1922, the eleven Tales of the Jazz Age include a range of characters and scenes from the era. The collection features the critically acclaimed novella "May Day," which contrasts drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans fighting socialists. Another story, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," was adapted into a film starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Tilda Swinton. This fantasy tells the story of a man who ages in reverse. The collection also includes "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz," a surreal fable about excess. The work is a collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
