Synopsis "Head and Shoulders"

Head and Shoulders (1920) by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in the Saturday Evening Post and later in his short story collection, Flappers and Philosophers (also available from Cosimo Classics), features Horace, a Princeton academic, who falls for flapper, Marcia. Marcia's shoulders shaking in her performances and Horace's "head" with his academia are the basis for the title. Ironically, by the end of the story the two reverse, and Horace becomes the shoulders of the relationship and Marcia, the head. The story was also made into a silent film, The Chorus Girl's Romance (1920). With characters reminiscent of Gatsby and Daisy, this romance is for fans of The Great Gatsby (1925) and Fitzgerald.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 24, 1896-Hollywood, California, December 21, 1940) was a military officer, host, novelist, and American writer, widely known as one of the finest authors of the 20th century, whose works are paradigmatic of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald is considered a member of the Lost Generation of the twenties.

He wrote five novels: The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, and The Last Tycoon, which, although unfinished, was published after his death. He also wrote numerous short stories, many of which deal with youth and promise, age and despair.
