Bernice Bobs Her Hair

More about the book

What we know of that unique period in American history labeled the Jazz Age has been defined by F. Scott Fitzgerald's piercing fiction. His short stories brilliantly realize an era both exploding with opportunity and seething with decadence. His prose captures the melancholy lacquered over with merriment, the corruption interlaced with the glamour, all refracted through a spectrum of human lives. Bernice bobs her hair -- Winter dreams -- "The sensible thing" -- Absolution -- The baby party -- A short trip home -- Magnetism -- The rough crossing.
