{"product_id":"9781847493460","title":"Flappers and Philosophers : Deluxe Annotated Edition by F.Scott Fitzgerald","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307827540341,"sku":"9781847493460","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847493460.jpg?v=1762805452","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847493460","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
