Synopsis

F. Scott Fitzgerald published this captivating short story in 1926, a year after The Great Gatsby. One of his most famous short stories, Fitzgerald wrote “The Rich Boy” about one of his friends in the guise of a wealthy, old-money protagonist, Anson Hunter, and the effects of wealth on his character and thus with women, love, and life. It originally appeared in two parts, in the January and February 1926 issues of Redbook. The January installment described it as, “A great story of today’s youth by F. Scott Fitzgerald.” “The Rich Boy” is a masterpiece of twentieth-century American fiction.

About F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University which he left in 1917 to join the army. Fitzgerald was said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, an age inhabited by a generation he defined as “grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.” In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, and their destructive relationship and her subsequent mental breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940. After his death the New York Times said of him, “He was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a ‘generation.’”
