Synopsis "The Unspeakable Egg"

"...the public was pleased to know that they were ugly monsters for all their money, and everyone was satisfied all around."-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Unspeakable Egg (1924)The Unspeakable Egg (1924) is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that features ultra-rich main character Fifi, engaged to be married to a man who in her estimation is too perfect. The day before the wedding she escapes to the home of her old maid aunts, Cal and Josephine. In an attempt to sort out life, Fifi takes long daily seaside walks over the next few weeks and one day happens upon a scruffy, derelict of a man, an unspeakable egg. Fitzgerald's witty jab at high society ensues, and readers are taken on a comedic ride. Fans of humor and Fitzgerald will enjoy this light-hearted tale.

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.
