Publisher Description
This audio contains three of Fitzgerald’s early short stories: “Dalyrimple Goes Wrong,” “Jemina, the Mountain Girl,” and “Tarquin of Cheapside.” Each story is fascinating in its own way, with roots that lead to his novels and others. His writing is like champagne, even early. “Dalyrimple” has some of the roots Dreiser may have used in An American Tragedy; “Jemina” is the child of Mark Twain’s southwestern humor. The last chapter provides approximately thirty thoughts, quotations, and witty remarks of Fitzgerald.
