A 'Piece of Passion' from Alessandro Gallenzi on the Alma Classics editions...
'F. Scott Fitzgerald has been long a favourite of mine. Since I discovered The Great Gatsby at university, I have been avidly reading all of his work. I am particularly fond of some of his short stories, from ‘The Rich Boy’ (in All the Sad Young Men) to ‘The Diamond as Big as the Ritz’ and ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ (in Tales of the Jazz Age).
I have poured all my passion and love for Fitzgerald’s work into these stylish editions, with front-cover illustrations by Art-Deco genius Georges Barbier, flaps, pictures and a wealth of extra material. These books are a publisher’s and a fan’s tribute to one of the greatest masters of world literature.'

<i>All the Sad Young Men </i> is the third collection of short stories written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.<br/>Fitzgerald was disillusioned and having money problems when wrote the stories. He believed his wife Zelda was seeing another man, she had suffered a series of physical illnesses, and his play <i>The Vegetable </i> had been a failure. Expecting more failure Fitzgerald was surprised by its critical acclaim. The New York Times said of it, ';The publication of this volume of short stories might easily have been an anti-climax after the perfection and success of <i>The Great Gatsby </i> of last Spring. A novel so widely praised by people whose recognition counts is stiff competition. It is even something of a problem for a reviewer to find new and different words to properly grace the occasion. It must be said that the collection as a whole is not sustained to the high excellence of <i>The Great Gatsby </i> , but it has stories of fine insight and finished craft.'
