All the Sad Young Men

This third collection of Fitzgerald's extremely popular short stories was published in 1926, in the wake of his most famous novel, The Great Gatsby.

Though his novels have become enduring classics, in his own time F. Scott Fitzgerald was primarily famous as a gifted and prolific writer of short stories, which were regularly published in the most popular periodicals of the day. This third collection of his tales, All the Sad Young Men, contains some of his most admired stories, including "Absolution," "The Rich Boy," and the haunting "Winter Dreams." These stories riff on the same themes that animated his great novels, and together they produce a scintillating portrait of America at the height of the Jazz Age.“[Fitzgerald] was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.” —The New York Times
