Woman with a Past

The Woman with a Past Book Description

All boys are obsessed with growing up It is a very old tradition to make them. This is because they sometimes express their impatience with the constraints of youth in words, while there are long periods when they are perfectly content to be children, expressed not in words but in action. Sometimes BasIl wanted to be a little older, but not too much.

In his stories in The Woman with a Past, F. Scott Fitzgerald travels to his near, yet distant past. With his unique naive and cynical look, Fitzgerald portrays the mischievousness of childhood, his efforts to please friends, his shame, the first loves of his youth, and his dreams for the future. What is depicted in these stories is the childhood of the author as well as Basil Duke Lee. The five stories in the second part, this time, tell the colorful, entertaining and painful youth adventures of a "high society" girl named Joseph Ine Perry.

Fitzgerald wrote these stories for the Saturday Evening Post magazine while working on Affectionate Night, and later turned them into a novel. He wanted to bring it back, but could not realize this dream due to his short life. Describing a life spent with tea parties, trips and dances, sweet disagreements and innocent sorrows, The Woman with a Past is a nostalgic portrait of the artist as a young man.

“Fitzgerald was able to see a poetic truth beyond sociology between character and society. . Despite their brevity, these stories are as enjoyable as listening to short pieces from Mozart and Chopin.”
