All the Sad Young Men by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Description

All the Sad Young Men is a book by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in 1926. This collection of short stories captures the uneasy mood of post–World War I America, where glamour, ambition, and youthful certainty give way to disillusionment. Released during the same creative period that produced The Great Gatsby, the volume reflects many of the themes and tensions that made Fitzgerald a defining voice of the Jazz Age. Its stories offer a rich window into the social, emotional, and cultural landscape of the 1920s, making it a valuable resource for readers interested in classic American literature and the era’s shifting ideals. The collection features memorable characters such as Anson Hunter, Rudolph Miller, and Paula Legendre - young men and women grappling with love, identity, and the elusive promise of success. Through their intertwined struggles, Fitzgerald examines the emotional fallout of prosperity and the quiet ache beneath polished exteriors. Each story stands alone, yet together they form a portrait of a generation torn between aspiration and regret, capturing the complexities of youth in a rapidly modernizing world. Fitzgerald’s sharp insights into class, relationships, and the weight of expectations lend the book a timeless quality. For those drawn to Jazz Age fiction, vintage Americana, or emotionally layered storytelling, this collection remains an essential read.
