The Price Was High: Fifty Uncollected Stories

784 pp. "Throughout the 1920's and 1930's, F. Scott Fitzgerald was even better known for his short stories than for his novels that have ensured his literary immortality. Readers of mass circulation magazines like the Saturday Evening Post, Fortune, and Redbook were attracted by his sensual, self-reliant women and his romantically idealistic men, and by 1929 he was earning as much as $4,000 a story-- a veritable fortune in those times."
