Published soon after Fitzgerald's debut novel This Side of
Paradise, Flappers and Philosophers was the author's first
collection of short fiction, a form through which he had gained
notoriety in newspapers and magazines. The familiar themes of
aspiration and social satire already permeate his writing: in
'Bernice Bobs Her Hair' the fashionable Marjorie attempts to turn
her dowdy cousin into a debutante, before betraying her out of
jealousy, while 'The Ice Palace' features a Southern belle whose
engagement to a Northerner finds her confronted with a cultural
clash between tradition and modernity. Also containing 'The
Offshore Pirate', 'Head and Shoulders', 'The Cut-Glass Bowl',
'Benediction', 'Dalyrimple Goes Wrong' and 'The Four Fists', this
volume of stories illustrates the early stages of Fitzgerald's
development as a writer and provides an entertaining chronicle of
America in the 1910s.
