The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories
The inspiration for the major motion picture starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, plus eighteen other stories by the beloved author ofĀ The Great Gatsby
In the title story of this collection by one of Americaās greatest writers, a baby born in 1860 begins life as an old man and proceeds to age backward. F. Scott Fizgerald hinted at this kind of inversion when he called his era āa generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.ā Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this āLost Generationā been more vividly preserved than in Fitzgeraldās short fiction. Spanning the early twentieth-century American landscape, this original collection captures, with Fitzgeraldās signature blend of enchantment and disillusionment, America during the Jazz Age.
