All the Sad Young Men

F. S. Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American writer, whose works illustrate the Jazz Age. "All the Sad Young Men" is a wonderful short-story collection showcases many of the celebrated novel's themes, as well as its unique writing style. Two of the most famous tales, the beautifully elegiac "The Rich Boy and Winter Dreams", deal with wealthy protagonists - the old-money Anson Hunter and the self-made man Dexter Green - as they come to terms with lost love; while "Absolution", in which a boy confesses to a priest.
