All the Sad Young Men

The nine original stories that Fitzgerald chose for All the Sad Young Men are included in this book of the Cambridge Fitzgerald Edition, along with eleven more works that were published between 1925 and 1928 but weren't collected by Fitzgerald while he was alive.

This edition is based on numerous typescripts and manuscripts that have survived.

An academic introduction, historical comments, a textual apparatus, drawings, and appendices are all included in the volume.

Untangling the convoluted compositional history of "The Rich Boy" and describing Fitzgerald's meticulous rewriting of "Winter Dreams" are both discussed.

The Cambridge draughts have important sexual innuendo and tabloid-style scandal passages that were cut from "Jacob's Ladder," "The Love Boat," and "Magnetism" by editors at the Saturday Evening Post.
