Story
After the success of This Side of Paradise, it was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s popular short fiction that helped maintain the luxury and celebrity to which he and his wife, Zelda, had grown accustomed. Reflections of that blithe and glittering lifestyle, these eleven stories reveal a man both beguiled by and critical of the American postwar generation he defined. Fitzgerald’s tales capture the inauguration of the age in all its hysteria, revelry, and tragedy - the same world he would later revisit in his renowned The Great Gatsby.

Story
Set on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tragic romance of the young actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. A profound study of the romantic concept of character - lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative.

Story
Published in 1922, Fitzgerald's second novel chronicles the relationship of Anthony Patch, Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete, and his beautiful wife, Gloria, as they await to inherit his grandfather's fortune. A devastating satire of the nouveaux rich and New York's nightlife, of reckless ambition and squandered talent, it is also a shattering portrait of a marriage fueled by alcohol and wasted by wealth. The Beautiful and Damned, Fitzgerald wrote to Zelda in 1930, "was all true."

Story
If the Roaring Twenties are remembered as the era of "flaming youth," it was F. Scott Fitzgerald who lit the fire. His semiautobiographical first novel, This Side of Paradise, became an instant bestseller and established an image of seemingly carefree, party-mad young men and women out to create a new morality for a new, post-war America.

Story
In the six lectures of The Great Gatsby at 100, you will join Sheila Liming of Champlain College to revisit the context and culture of the Roaring ‘20s, which inspired the story of the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his disastrous pursuit of Daisy Buchanan. As you’ll discover, while Gatsby is framed as a love story, it’s also a story of the American experience, revealing the unspoken rules of wealth and class and the false promises of self-made success in a world of Old Money privilege.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you are going on an hour long car ride, and wantWhat did you like best about this story?
Short, to the point. Fast paced and good for teens. My least favorite was Dalyrimple Goes Wrong, but even that has caused discussion in the house, and stuck in my head.What about Stephen R. Thorne and Bronson Pinchot ’s performance did you like?
These are very good intelligible reads. A good pace is set with Pinchot, and he reads it very well. There are also NO Balki impersonations.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Bernice Bobs her Hair will remain a classic in our house. If you like movies like Mean Girls, you will love this story. If you love your Dear Heart, you will love Head and Shoulders (Well, most of it :-D)Any additional comments?
One of my Daughters read 2 of these at school, and was moving on to The Great Gatsby. I like to read what the kids are reading, So I grabbed this and Gatsby. I am glad I read this first. Gatsby was not my cup of tea, but these stories are fantastic.Five Great Stories!

Bronson Pinchot’a narration is perfection. I looked for other books narriated by cousin Balki (yes that Bronson Pinchot). His narrative style reveals the stories. Unlike some narrators who over power the authors written word with a vocal performance.
Who am I to critique F. S. Fitzgerald; Pinchot’s narration will greatly add to your enjoyment of the short stories.
Everything you love about Fitzgerald OR a good introduction if haven’t read him.
