Book Reviews of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: A mixed bag.
Summary: 5 Stars
Most critics have often thought of Fitzgerald's short stories as what he did for money between writing novels and haven't had a high opinion of their worth. Many are, indeed, a poor man's version of O'Henry stories with "twist" endings. About a quarter of the stories here, though, are pure genius with such tales as "the Ice Palace" and "Benjamin Button." If you are a fan of the recent movie, or of Fitzgerald, it is a worthwhile purchase.
