Description: "The Basil and Josephine Stories" by F. SCOTT FITZGERALD with its original dust jacket. 1973 1st edition, 1st printing; Charles Scribner's Sons; New York. From the dust jacket: "This volume brings together for the first time two series of short stories which F. Scott Fitzgerald had intended to combine. The fourteen stories center on two main characters - Basil Duke Lee and Josephine Perry. The Basil series is clearly about Fitzgerald's own life, from eleven to seventeen; and Josephine is Basil's female counterpart. Two main themes run through the Basil and Josephine stories; social class, which Fitzgerald believed to be a psychological rather than an economic condition; and the effort to dominate life by sexual magnetism. Written for the Saturday Evening Post in the late Twenties and early Thirties, the stories are entertainment of a high order, conveying 'what it was like to grow up way back then and there.' Fitzgerald had thought that the two series, read together, would give the effect of a novel, and this volume proves that he was right."
