Diamond as Big as the Ritz and Other Stories

Viac o knihe

The cut-glass age was Scott Fitzgerald's age - and it splintered and shattered before his eyes. In these seven stories (the first volume in a new uniformed Penguin edition) Fitzgerald's insight reflects and refracts the profane image of America in the Jazz Age, creating cameos of a fairy-tale life among the very rich. But the idylls prove illusory; and the picture is always disrupted by sharp, painfull shafts of reality.
