Jazz Age Stories

About This Novel
Fitzgerald once described the United States in the 1920s: "It was an era of miracles, an era of art, an era of extravagant spending, and an era of ridicule." As Fitzgerald's first short story collection, "Tales from the Jazz Age" well explains the meaning of this sentence. The stories collected in this collection of novels have vivid plots, profound meanings and strong artistic sense. In these stories, American young people all have the same dream as Gatsby: to be born in a prestigious school, marry a beautiful rich girl, and dominate the upper class society; if they are not born with all these, they will dress up as social elites and attend social dances to seek opportunities to enter the upper class society. Or simply join the gold mining army and make a fortune. However, behind these flashy, noisy and even bizarre stories, there is a lot of absurdity and sadness.
