Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), F. Scott Fitzgerald's second collection of short stories, was published two years after his first novel, This Side of Paradise. It made him a best-selling author and celebrity at the age of 24. It was a romantic generation clouded by illegal alcohol in an electric atmosphere of excess, the first generation of our modern era.
