Flappers and Philosophers
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Book Overview:
Flappers and Philosophers was the first collection of short stories written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It includes eight stories:
The Offshore Pirate
The Ice Palace
Head and Shoulders
The Cut-Glass Bowl
Bernice Bobs Her Hair
Benediction
Dalyrimple Goes Wrong
The Four Fists
The Offshore Pirate is a long short story in 6 parts. It predates the screwball movie comedies of the 1930’s in that it features a determined young heiress trying to get what she wants out of life.
Bernice Bobs Her Hair is about a pretty but socially clueless Bernice who lets her know-it-all cousin push her around, but eventually, something's gotta give!
The Ice Palace is a story about Sally Carrol Happer, a young southern woman from the fictional city of Tarleton, Georgia, who becomes engaged one summer to Harry Bellamy, a man from an unspecified northern town. The following winter, on a visit to Harry's home town to meet Harry's family, Sally Carrol begins to have second thoughts...
