Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age tales presenting sharply observed social moments, playful irony, and vivid character sketches. The stories range from Southern small-town scenes and social satire to luxury fantasies and unusual premises, showing how youthful ambition and cultural frenzy shape personal fate. Through recurring motifs of modernity, excess, and mistaken values, the collection captures the atmosphere of 1920s New York and beyond.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/","Story & Novel",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/tales-of-the-jazz-age-selected-short-stories/136647/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/tales-of-the-jazz-age-selected-short-stories/136647.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Margaret","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-22","2026-08-22",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",15,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is Tales of the Jazz Age about?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It is a Jazz Age short-story collection by F.

SCOTT FITZGERALD  \n1922  \nA TABLE OF CONTENTS  \nMY LAST FLAPPERS  \nTHE JELLY-BEAN  \nThis is a Southern story, with the scene laid in the small Lily of Tarleton, Georgia. I have a profound affection for Tarleton, but somehow whenever I write a story about it I receive letters from all over the South denouncing me in no uncertain terms. \"The Jelly-Bean,\" published in \"The Metropolitan,\"drew its full share of these admonitory notes.  \nIt was written under strange circumstances shortly after my first novel was published, and, moreover, it was the first story in which I had a collaborator. For, finding that I was unable to manage the crapshooting episode, I turned it over to my wife, who, as a Southern girl, was presumably an expert on the technique and terminology of that great sectional pastime.  \nTHE CAMEL'S BACK  \nI suppose that of all the stories I have ever written this one cost me the least travail and perhaps gave me the most amusement. As to the labor involved, it was written during one day in the city of New Orleans, with the express purpose of buying a platinum and diamond wrist watch which cost six hundred dollars. I began it at seven in the morning and finished it at two o'clock the same night. It was published in the \"Saturday Evening Post\" in 1920, and later included in the O. Henry Memorial Collection for the same year. I like it least of all the stories in this volume.  \nMy amusement was derived from the fact that the camel part of the story is literally true; in fact, I have a standing engagement with the gentleman involved to attend the next fancy-dress party to which we are mutually invited, attired as the latter part of the camel—this as a sort of atonement for being his historian.  \nMAYDAY.  \nThis somewhat unpleasant tale, published as a novelette in the \"Smart Set\" in July, 1920, relates a series of events which took place in the spring of the previous year. Each of the three events made a great impression upon me. In life they were unrelated, except by the general hysteria of that spring which inaugurated the Age of Jazz, but in my story I have tried, unsuccessfully I fear, to weave them into a pattern—a pattern which would give the effect of those months in New York as they appeared to at least one member of what was then the younger generation.  \nPORCELAIN AND PINK.  \n\"And do you write for any other magazines?\" inquired the young lady.  \n\"Oh, yes,\" I assured her. \"I've had some stories and plays in the'Smart Set,' for instance——\"  \nThe young lady shivered.  \n\"The 'Smart Set' !\" she exclaimed. \"How can you? Why, they publish stuff about girls in blue bathtubs, and silly things like that.\"  \nAnd I had the magnificent joy of telling her that she was referring to\"Porcelain and Pink,\" which had appeared there several months before.  \nFANTASIES  \nTHE DIAMOND AS BIG AS THE RITZ.  \nThese next stories are written in what, were I of imposing stature, I should call my \"second manner.\"\"The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,\" which appeared last summer in the \"Smart Set,\" was designed utterly for my","cbCaid9QJVYoSkS4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid9QJVYoSkS4","pdf",832003,225,"English","# Tales from the Jazz Age\n## My Last Flappers\n## The Jelly-Bean\n## The Camel's Back\n## Mayday\n## Porcelain and Pink\n## Fantasies\n## The Diamond as Big as the Ritz\n## The Curious Case of Benjamin Button\n## Tarquin of Cheapside\n## O Russet Witch!","[{\"question\":\"What is Tales of the Jazz Age about?\",\"answer\":\"It is a Jazz Age short-story collection by F.
