The Diamond as Big as the Ritz is an ominous fable about the pursuit of great wealth. Readers will be transported to a fabulous fantasy land of such opulence that its very existence has to remain a jealously guarded secret. Fatal consequences lie in store for 'bona fide' guests and uninvited visitors alike, while the sybaritic luxury of the place is evoked in an effortless prose style which is quintessentially F. Scott Fitzgerald. Also featured in this volume are The Cut-Glass Bowl, May Day, The Rich Boy, Crazy Sunday, An Alcoholic Case, The Lees of Happiness, The Lost Decade and Babylon Revisited

beautiful short stories
Fitzgerald shows he was not only an exceptional novelist, the author of classics such as "The Great Gatsby" and "Tender Is The Night" to name but two. In this collection of his short stories, we see a selection of poignant tales, revealing the depths of human sadness and the emotional void at the heart of glamour that Fitzgerald understood so well. Any fan of American literature or of short fiction must own this collection.
