F.S. Fitzgerald was an American writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. The Last Tycoon is a magnificent story of doomed love set against the extravagance of America's booming film industry. The studio lot looks like 'thirty acres of fairyland' the night that a mysterious woman stands and smiles at Monroe Stahr, the last of the great Hollywood princes. Enchanted by one another, they begin a passionate but hopeless love affair. The romance unfolds, frame by frame, watched by Cecilia, a thoroughly modern girl who has taken her lessons in sentiment and cynicism from all the movies she has seen. The play The Vegetable was a satirical attack on the presidency of Warren Harding. An ordinary, incompetent man, taunted for his lack of ambition by his family, realises his dream of ruling the United States of America.

It is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s. All the Sad Young Men is a wonderful short-story collection. It contains two of the most famous tales: the beautifully elegiac «The Rich Boy» and «Winter Dreams», dealing with wealthy protagonists as they come to terms with lost love and «Absolution», a boy's confession to a priest.
