Island Idylls

33 - The Great Fitzgerald

Episode Summary

Barry and Aaron are back working through three of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous short stories: “May Day,” “The Rich Boy,” and “Babylon Revisited.” After emerging as a rising star in his twenties, critics largely dismissed Fitzgerald in his own generation. However, few writers in American are as influential. His description of life in the Roaring Twenties of a hundred years ago is picked up by students and readers all across the land. Listen in as father and son discuss class conflict, getting ahead, wealth, and much more.
