Synopsis "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz & Other Stories"

With an Introduction and Notes by Stuart Hutchinson, University of Kent at Canterbury. The Diamond as Big as the Ritz is an ominous fable about the pursuit of great wealth. Readers will be transported to a fabulous fantasy land of such opulence that its very existence has to remain a jealously guarded secret. Fatal consequences lie in store for 'bona fide' guests and uninvited visitors alike, while the sybaritic luxury of the place is evoked in an effortless prose style which is quintessentially F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also featured in this volume are The Cut-Glass Bowl, May Day, The Rich Boy, Crazy Sunday, An Alcoholic Case, The Lees of Happiness, The Lost Decade and Babylon Revisited.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 24, 1896-Hollywood, California, December 21, 1940) was a military officer, host, novelist, and American writer, widely known as one of the finest authors of the 20th century, whose works are paradigmatic of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the twenties.

He wrote five novels: The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Last Tycoon, which, although unfinished, was published after his death. He also wrote numerous short stories, many of which deal with youth and promise, age and despair.
