IN
THE TITLE STORY, a baby born in 1860 begins life as an old
man and proceeds to age backward. F. Scott Fizgerald hinted
at this kind of inversion when he called his era ?a
generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought,
all faiths in man shaken. Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this "Lost
Generation" been more vividly preserved than in Fitzgerald's
short fiction. Spanning the early twentieth-century American
landscape, this original collection captures, with
Fitzgerald's signature blend of enchantment and
disillusionment, America during the Jazz Age.
