Flappers and Philosophers eBook F Scott Francis Scott 18961940 Fitzgerald Reviews
Don't buy this particular printing because it is FULL of editing errors, typos, missing words, spelling mistakes, missing or misplaced quotation marks, etc. I can see that it was printed on the day I ordered the book, so it must be one of those books that they scan into a computer and print-to-order without editing. Very annoying. Other than that, the stories are fabulous. Loved the stories! Just buy a different published version.
I really enjoyed this book, as I've enjoyed reading everything I have ever read which was written by Fitzgerald .
This book was first published in 1920 and contains 8 short stories. The printed edition of this book is 177 pages long. All the stories are not only a pleasure to read, they also allow you a glimpse into the 1910's-1920's. There are a few errors and typos in this e-book version, but it doesn't get much worse than 'tall' where it should be 'tell', or 'had had' in stead of 'had'; so a bit distracting at times, but no major problem. I do recommend this book to anyone who likes to read (early-twentieth century) literature.
(In case you're wondering what a 'flapper' is, it is an informal word -used in the period around 1900-1930- to describe a fashionable young woman who was very modern (short dress, bobbed hair, drinking, smoking, treating sex in a casual way) and who flouted social and sexual norms.)
The short stories in this book are
-The Offshore Pirate
-The Ice Palace
-Head and Shoulders
-The Cut-Glass Bowl
-Bernice Bobs Her Hair
-Benediction
-Dalyrimple Goes Wrong
-The Four Fists
The stories were well written. Enjoyed all but one of them, reason for four stars. Would recommend for anyone interested in 1920's.
Short stories,well written and enjoyable. If you like F Scott's novels you will like these. Various subjects but all about interesting human conditions.
It is difficult to say if this book is a good read or not. So far I have gotten through about three pages, and the spelling and grammatical errors as well as the type-os make it impossible to enjoy this book. I am not sure if I can continue with it, as the aforementioned errors make it incredibly hard to concentrate on the content.
I might be being overgenerous here, but I so enjoyed these stories. This is Fitzgerald's first collection, and while they may lack the substance matter of his later works, there's such grace, elegance and beauty here, albeit somewhat ephemeral. More flappery than philosophical, certainly. And yet, these 8 tales perfectly encompass the zeitgeist of the 1920s, dealing with mainly flirting, dating, romance, but occasionally more profound subjects too, such as choosing one's path, whether it is presented, guided along or beaten into one, literally. For sheer reading pleasure this is a literary equivalent of a marshmallow or something equally light, pleasant and delicious. It's absolutely worth reading just to temporary armchair travel to a different era. Utterly charming. Sincerely recommended.
