Tales of the Jazz Age

A master craftsman brings one of the most fascinating periods in American history to vivid life in these provocative and poignant short stories Born gray-haired and grumpy, Benjamin Button may be an infant, but his body and personality are those of an old man. Curiously, however, he grows younger with each passing year. Benjamin is aging backwards, which begs the question, when does a man become a man? And how do we recognize our true selves? A delightful fable that poses serious inquiries about the nature of existence, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of F. Scott Fitzgeralds best-known stories and the centerpiece of this legendary collection. From the Jazz Age decadence of May Day to the delightful fantasy of The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, these evocative tales showcase one of the twentieth centurys greatest authors at the height of his talent.
