Scott Fitzgerald ¶ 0 Summary These sumptuous new hardback editions mark the 70th anniversary of Fitzgerald's death Encompassing the very best of F Scott Fitzgerald's short fiction this collection spans his care This was a lot of fun Exceedingly Awfully Fun The sort of telling that I feel I had been not wasting time And extra to it I am certainly much obliged to Daniel Coenn whose name I ve heard not until couple of weeks ago and for sure I ll easily forget knowing and trusting my memory as by fortunate accident I ve found a little e book named Francis Scott Fitzgerald His Words while I was in a random search for a new entry to start reading although I have plenty of books in my own library that I have not yet read So my attention was gripped firmly while reading uite a bunch of the most famous uotes that populated this American writer works I ve always liked F Scott F and have read most of his novels and will most probably come back to them over time So reading some uotes from this e book I felt like refreshing my acuaintance with F Scott F and easily available of course I look up first on free of charge offers was this really very entertaining collection of short stories dated back 1920 Well how about that 100 years gone since its publication and my time of read As we like to say it is never too late Fortunately In the millennium an educational genius will write a book to be given to every young man on the date of his disillusion This work will have the flavor of Montaigne s essays and Samuel Butler s note books and a little of Tolstoi and Marcus Aurelius It will be neither cheerful nor pleasant but will contain numerous passages of striking humor Since first class minds never believe anything very strongly until they ve experienced it its value will be purely relative all people over thirty will refer to it as depressing This prelude belongs to the story of a young man who lived as you and I do before the book This little extraction is the start up uote from the 7th short story Dalyrimple goes wrong who is a character torn between self and society I found it very valuable through its most obvious irony does Dalyrimple go wrong when he chooses to become a masked burglar to make ends meet though he wanted to work honestly or when he is by a stroke of fate rewarded at the end because he has learned to cut corners and land on the right side of the fence Sliding swiftly and with style or better said serpentlike intensity through these eight short stories I wholeheartedly may say that I m mighty glad of now having read them and if I can give a verdict these stories are to get you going good Being an impressionistic nature I was definitely attracted by both words from the title flappers and philosophers and I have had a little bit of time dedicated to google ing to read about these flappers thing It s always good to put together as many pieces of the puzzle I sincerely confess I was somehow ignorant of the history of flappers especially when this word is assigned to stories written by the famous Jazz age iconic writerI have been awfully overjoyed by the story Bernice bobs her hair this could justify why I have posted so many uotes from this story almost an entire chapter at some point I have very personal reasons of course I felt myself part of the story both as a character but also symbolically I mean even before getting to this collection of stories I have taken the decision to bob my hair It was great to see what were the so called social standards for a generation of young Americans what were in their mind the secrets of popularity what were you supposed to say at a dinner table or on the dance floor overall how a girl should make herself socially appealing As we well know this involves a lot of advice on conversation poise carriage dancing expression dress and personality etc etc I wasn t myself in a similar situation or perhaps I was yes yes I was some good years back if I take into account three weddings that I was invited to attend and where some high personages wanted to make me look socially appealing haha but I did make a pledge to bob my hair if I pass successfully the entry exams for university actually in the those old gone years I had had very long hair and uite beautiful for that young age and of course I had proceeded to sacrifice this beloved possession my tresses how silly and funny we re when we re young Nowadays to bob my hair has less traumatic effects I guess after a certain age things to be done not only feel less painful mentally wise but also you realize that you like yourself no matter the length of the hairCuriously enough I have arrived at the end enthusiastically and smiling and smiling and being rather absurdly happy That is to count for a gay time I ve been having and concluding this is an absolute jewel I mean reading was such a little thing and surprisingly a happy thing Hope this makes senseI have tremendously enjoyed all of the stories and I was very pleased to see that each one had a surprising closing effect something that I was not prepared for Well of course they are not thrillers or crime based history but the conclusion is in the opposite direction with the general flow of the story I guess that is what made me loved the stories even Still the general effect is that misty waves have been passing before my eyes I felt too gay and fickle and cheerfully collapsing backward upon my bed upon each story closing I want to be a society vampire you see she announced coolly and went on to inform him that bobbed hair was the necessary prelude She added that she wanted to ask his advice because she had heard he was so critical about girls
