Tales of the Jazz Age is a collection of eleven short stories divided into three parts; My Last Flappers, Fantasies and Unclassified Masterpieces each touching on separate subject matter. Each stands alone in style and interest, May Day contrasts drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans battling socialists in the streets, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, is a fantasy about a man who ages in reverse, and A Diamond as Big as the Ritz is a surreal fable of excess, and all are an enjoyable glimpse or a time past.
