The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, El

Francis Scott Fitzgerald ranks among the most important American authors of the 20th century. The generations that followed were deeply influenced by his, though brief, extraordinary output, which includes five novels and over a hundred short stories.
This volume, the first of two comprising the essential collection of his short stories, gathers some of them. It thus bears witness to Fitzgerald's immense creative capacity in narratives ranging from his earliest publications to celebrated small works such as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Jacob's Ladder, or The Diamond as Big as the Ritz.
