The Rich Boy

Containing all the ambience of The Great Gatsby, The Rich Boy is a perfect collection of Fitzgerald stories evoking the trappings and illusions of 1920s high society. Undisputed king of Jazz Age writing, F. Scott Fitzgerald perfectly encapsulated all the glamour and despair of 1920s society. These three short stories are supreme examples of his craft. With wealth and privileges beyond measure, 'rich boy' Anson Hunter had every reason to expect life to be a breeze. Yet one by one his dreams fade away, leaving him with nothing. Slowly, painfully, he realises that beneath the sparkle and fizz of his glittering life lies only failure and disillusionment - the self-same emptiness that pervades the beautiful people of 'The Last of the Belles' and 'The Bridal Party'.
