F. Scott Fitzgerald's works, including "This Side of Paradise, " "Flappers and Philosophers, " "The Beautiful and the Damned, " and "Tales of the Jazz Age, " epitomize his sparkling aphoristic style and keen social observation. These works showcase Fitzgerald's talent for capturing the longings, conflicts, and societal decadence of the Jazz Age. "This Side of Paradise" portrays a young protagonist's search for love and a personal philosophy while offering an enduring depiction of college life. "Flappers and Philosophers" is a timeless collection of short stories featuring notable pieces like "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong, " "Bernice Bobs Her Hair, " and "The Ice Palace." In "The Beautiful and the Damned, " Fitzgerald delves into the self-destructive nature of the era as aristocrat Anthony Patch and his wife, Gloria, face the loss of their wealth and inheritance. "Tales of the Jazz Age" includes the novella "May Day, " exploring the lives of debutantes, soldiers, and socialists in the aftermath of World War I, and "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz, " a fable reflecting the excessive opulence of the era.
