Book Overview

All the Sad Young Men is the third collection of short stories written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald was disillusioned and having money problems when wrote the stories. He believed his wife Zelda was seeing another man she had suffered a series of physical illnesses and his play The Vegetable had been a failure. Expecting more failure Fitzgerald was surprised by its critical acclaim. The New York Times said of it "The publication of this volume of short stories might easily have been an anti-climax after the perfection and success of The Great Gatsby of last Spring. A novel so widely praised - by people whose recognition counts - is stiff competition. It is even something of a problem for a reviewer to find new and different words to properly grace the occasion. It must be said that the collection as a whole is not sustained to the high excellence of The Great Gatsby but it has stories of fine insight and finished craft."

About F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896. He attended Princeton University, joined the United States Army during World War I, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and for the next decade the couple lived in New York, Paris, and on the Riviera. Fitzgerald's masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died at the age of forty-four while working on The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald's fiction has secured his reputation as one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century.
