Taps at Reveille - The Original 1935 Edition (18 short stories) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Eighteen Jazz Age Stories of Glamour, Loss, and American DesireBy F. Scott Fitzgerald
Length14h 20m
About this audiobook
Taps at Reveille, Fitzgerald's fourth and final story collection published during his lifetime, gathers eighteen stories that trace the glitter and disillusion of modern American life after the Jazz Age. Moving from prep-school comedies and romantic initiations to Hollywood satire and the chastened masterpiece "Babylon Revisited," the volume displays Fitzgerald's lucid lyricism, social acuity, and gift for dramatizing moral consequence beneath elegance and charm. In its 1935 context, it stands at the threshold between the exuberant 1920s and the sobering Depression years. F. Scott Fitzgerald, born in 1896, became the emblematic chronicler of youth, aspiration, wealth, and loss in American modernism. His own experiences—Princeton ambitions, literary celebrity, marriage to Zelda Sayre, financial precarity, and intimate knowledge of expatriate and high-society circles—deeply inform these stories. By 1935, personal strain and national crisis had sharpened his sense of regret, responsibility, and the fragility of glamour. This collection is strongly recommended to readers seeking Fitzgerald beyond The Great Gatsby: varied, polished, and emotionally revealing, it offers a compact survey of his evolving art and his enduring diagnosis of American desire.
