Book Overview

by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Author)

"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful..."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Rich Boy (1926)


The Rich Boy (1926) by F. Scott Fitzgerald was originally published in The Redbook Magazine and later in a collection of Fitzgerald's short stories, All the Sad Young Men (1926). The story, thought to be an extension of The Great Gatsby, further explores the impact of wealth on a person's character. Anson Hunter, the title rich boy, embodies all the traits of the rich that are so different from the middle class and is modeled after Fitzgerald's Princeton classmate and best man. Considered to be one of Fitzgerald's most important stories, this is a must-read for all who love Gatsby and The Jazz Age.
