A vibrant collection of short stories, Tales of the Jazz Age encapsulates the spirit, decadence, and turmoil of the Roaring Twenties. Fitzgerald explores themes of love, wealth, ambition, and societal change with a mix of humor and melancholy. Iconic stories like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Diamond as Big as the Ritz stand out for their imaginative plots and deep emotional resonance. Through the glamorous and tragic characters in these stories, Fitzgerald captures the fleeting exuberance of a generation living in a post-war era of excess.
