The 43 stories collected here, all masterpieces of the form, demonstrate the full range of Fitzgerald's grasp of the story and novella form. Stories range from the early "Head and Shoulders" and "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" to stories from late in his career like "Last Kiss" and "Dearly Beloved." The volume includes an illuminating preface and headnotes by premier Fitzgerald scholar and biographer, Matthew J. Bruccoli.
