What we know of that unique period in American history labeled the Jazz Age has been defined by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s piercing fiction.

His short stories brilliantly realize an era both exploding with opportunity and seething with decadence. His prose captures the melancholy lacquered over with merriment, the corruption interlaced with the glamour, all refracted through a spectrum of human lives.

Here, Caedmon has assembled an extraordinary cast of stage and screen stars to bring Fitzgerald’s early work to resonant life. His characters (some passionate, some comic, some tragic) take on an extra dimension when interpreted aloud by these fine actors.

This collection both honors and enhances Fitzgerald’s already irreplaceable position in American letters. Each return listening will bring even more emotional impact to each story.
