Written for the Saturday Evening Post while the author was working on Tender Is the Night, these stories form a realistic and entertaining portrait of two young adults in the 1910s, fascinating both for the autobiographical insights they provide and the timeless satire that Fitzgerald's fiction has become synonymous with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation. * The New York Times *","brand":"Alma Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742201557335,"sku":"9781847493422","price":7.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781847493422.jpg?v=1720060440"},{"product_id":"babylon-revisited-and-other-stories-9781847493804","title":"Babylon Revisited and Other Stories","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in the year after the 1929 crash and incorporating many autobiographical elements, ‘Babylon Revisited’ tells the story of the widower Charlie Wales, a reformed alcoholic and successful businessman returning to Paris to convince his in-laws to give him back the daughter he abandoned.
