About this audiobook
Bryan Dalyrimple returns to his hometown as a war hero after World War I. But after the ticker tape parades and back-slapping handshakes, and he finds himself stuck in a dead-end job with little room for advancement, frustration begins to mount. He decides to turn to the only option left for him – crime. ¶ Originally published in the 1920 short story collection Flappers and Philosophers, Fitzgerald shines a light on the sentiment toward the returning doughboys of World War I, and the dwindling opportunities awaiting them upon their return.
