Having loved Fitzgerald's writing when I was young I wondered if I would still feel the same way. Yes, his writing still blows me away.
It's a shame that short fiction (and short nonfiction) aren't afforded more honor. Fitzgerald is stronger when he has less scope to flail around. His characterization and humor are more in evidence than his moody melancholy which suffuses the novels.
