About this book

Wealth gives Anson Hunter a settled confidence that shapes his friendships, ambitions and love for Paula Legendre. In the opening story of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1926 collection, a narrator who knows Anson examines the habits formed by a privileged childhood in New York and Connecticut. The account moves through school, college and wartime naval training, tracing how social standing enters even the most personal decisions.

The nine stories include The Rich Boy, Winter Dreams and Absolution. Their range extends from wealthy social circles to the troubled meeting between the young Rudolph and Father Schwartz, where religious anxiety collides with the boy's private imagination. Elsewhere, an ocean liner arriving in New York becomes the occasion for a comic portrait of fashionable passengers. Readers interested in character studies and social observation will find intimate conversations alongside sharp descriptions of money, manners and the ways people understand themselves.
