ReviewsF. Scott Fitzgerald's three stories set in the fictional Southern town of Tarleton depict the contrast between North and South (most evident in the figure of the Southern belle-the author's tribute to his wife, Zelda) and exemplify Fitzgerald's theme of love frustrated by social boundaries. Gathered together here for the first time, along with Kirk Curnutt's authoritative and graceful introduction, they evocatively show Fitzgerald's evolution from youthful romanticism in "The Ice Palace" to disenchantment in "The Jelly-Bean" to the mature understanding of reality in "The Last of the Belles.", F.

SynopsisReleased to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the marriage of F. Scott Fitzgerald to Zelda Sayre of Montgomery, Alabama, All of the Belles is a unique collection of Fitzgerald's Tarleton stories, written as an ode to his new bride. Set in the fictional Tarleton, these stories recreate the Southern character and pre-modern attitude of 1920s Montgomery and are revealing of, During his Roaring Twenties heyday, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote three stories about the belles of Tarleton, Georgia, a setting readers recognized as a thinly veiled version of his wife Zelda Sayre's hometown of Montgomery, Alabama. In different ways, the heroines of these tales--Sally Carol Happer in "The Ice Palace," Nancy Lamar in "The Jelly-Bean," and Allie Calhoun in "The Last of the Belles"--rebel against Southern expectations of women, revel in the newfound freedoms young people enjoyed at the outset of the modern age, and ultimately discover that home is far harder to run away from than they ever expected. Remarkably, although these minor masterpieces have long been regarded as among the very best of the 160-plus short stories Fitzgerald published during his short life, the stories have never (until now) been published as a trio. Gathered here to commemorate the centennial of both Scott and Zelda's 1920 marriage and the beginning of the Jazz Age they symbolize, All of the Belles captures all the winsome qualities readers love about F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing: the keen observation of manners, the comic insights, the lyricism, and the poignant, powerful sense of loss., During his Roaring Twenties heyday, F.

Inspired by Fitzgerald's own belle, Zelda Sayre, whom he met in Montgomery while stationed at Camp Sheridan training for the Great War, these stories are minor masterpieces long regarded as the very best of the 160-plus short stories the writer published during his short life. All of the Belles collects these stories -- "The Ice Palace," "The Jelly-Bean," and "The Last of the Belles" -- in a single volume for the very first time. This special book is being released to commemorate the centennial anniversary of Scott and Zelda's marriage and in recognition of the many hundredth anniversaries of Fitzgerald's work which will be celebrated starting in 2020. The heroines of these still remarkable tales rebel against Southern expectations of women, revel in the newfound freedoms young people enjoyed at the outset of the modern age, and ultimately discover that home is far harder to run away from than they ever expected. The stories capture all the winsome qualities that readers love about F. Scott's writing: the keen observation of manners, the comic insights, the lyricism, and the poignant, powerful sense of loss. The Jazz Age may have begun a century ago, but Fitzgerald's works remain among American literature's most powerful writing, as will become clear with a reading of All of the Belles., During his Roaring Twenties heyday, F.
