Forgotten Fitzgerald Av F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sarah Churchwell

<p>While F. Scott Fitzgerald was writing the novels we remember him for today, he was also publishing short stories in popular magazines such as <i>The Saturday Evening Post </i>and <i>Esquire</i>. Although many of Fitzgerald''s short stories are celebrated and anthologised today, more remain out of print than would be expected for a writer of his stature. Some of these forgotten stories deserve to be rediscovered by the many readers who love Fitzgerald''s work.<br><br> Sarah Churchwell, author of the acclaimed <i>Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of </i>The Great Gatsby, has selected twelve forgotten stories from throughout Fitzgerald''s career that refract, in different ways, his most familiar motifs: the changing meanings of America in the first decades of the twentieth century, and the desire to reconcile rich and poor through a romantic search for glamour, hope and wonder. Each of these stories offers a riff on the theme of America, a world we have lost, but can hear echoes of in Fitzgerald''s characteristically rich, vivid prose.</p>
