A scathing satire on the cruel gatekeeping of privileged young American women, Bernice Bobs Her Hair centres on a young woman who cuts her hair to make herself more popular amongst men. Bernice’s hair represents changing attitudes towards femininity during the flapper era, which prized more ‘boyish’ figures and haircuts, rather than the more tradit...
The Ice Palace is based upon a real ice palace that appeared at the 1887 Winter Carnival in St Paul, Minnesota, where Fitzgerald was born. Regarded as one of Fitzgerald’s most overtly modernist works, the novel follows Sally Happer, a young woman from Georgia, who travels north to meet her fiancé’s family. While in the ice palace, Happer has an epi...
The Offshore Piraterevolves around a wealthy young woman called Ardita’s adventure with pirates. She is described as being excited about having an adventure, because her view on life is otherwise very negative. Ardita’s affections are competed for by the pirates, mirroring Fitzgerald’s own perceived unworthiness when vying for the hand of his futur...
May Day is partly based on some events that Fitzgerald experienced in New York City. The story features themes of lost youth, wealth and two distinct but interrelated plots that the author revisited numerous times throughout his career. Set on 1 May 1919, the day on which violent protests in favour of ‘lower class’ rights took place, the short stor...
Probably Fitzgerald’s most famous short story, since it was adapted for the big screen in 2008 by David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells the story of the titular character who is born in 1869 as a 70-year-old man and then ages backwards until he dies as a baby. He is the ultimate outsider, living life in an alternate and opposite ...
Winter Dreams is widely considered to be one of Fitzgerald’s finest works. The themes of loss and youthful illusions are largely modelled on the author’s own life, because of his own inability to seduce socialite Ginevra King, who later became the basis for the character Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby. The story follows a young man from Minneso...
The Diamond as Big as the Ritzparodies the staggering wealth amassed by barons such as John D. Rockefeller in 1920s America. It tells the fantastical story of a man called Braddock Washington who lives on a mountain-sized diamond in the Montana Rockies, that is indeed bigger than the Ritz hotel. The irony is that Washington’s net worth is far from ...
Married couple Jim and Jaqueline Mathers have saved all of their money for the imminent birth of their child. However, Jim is a generous man who always aims to support those in need; he cares for friends and strangers alike, lends money without a second thought and fails to put his family first. Jim finally listens to his wife’s implorations that h...
Unlike Fitzgerald’s works which depict the Jazz Age of the 1920s, this short story examines the fallout of the 1929 Wall Street Crash, though does indeed contain flashbacks to the hedonistic years from earlier in the decade. The story follows Charlie Wales, a man haunted by his past mistakes since his extravagance cost him and his family their savi...
One of Fitzgerald’s shortest works, The Lost Decadeexamines the effects of drink and how it leads people to forget their surroundings, become isolated from reality and lose touch with themselves. Published just one year before Fitzgerald died, the short story largely parallels the author’s own struggle with alcoholism as well as his feelings of soc...
