F. Scott Fitzgerald Short Stories

3 Early Short Stories & Famous Quotations

By: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Narrated by: Deaver Brown

Three of Fitzgerald's early short stories: "Dalyrimple Goes Wrong", "Jemina, the Mountain Girl", and "Tarquin of Cheapside". Each story is fascinating in its own way, with roots that lead to his novels. His writing, even at this early stage in his career, is like champagne. "Dalyrimple" has some of the themes Dreiser later used in An American Tragedy; "Jemina" sounds like what would happen if Mark Twain met southwestern humor; "Tarquin" is unique and better listened to than discussed. The last chapter provides approximately 30 thoughts, quotations, and witty remarks made by Fitzgerald.

Sounds like it was taped in a well

Horrible audio quality, which makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the stories. Really sad for Audible. Bleh!

The title is appropriate

The narrator’s voice and his reading is quote annoying’ hi voice did not pay justice the elegant writing of Fitzgerald…

Terribly narrated

This is my favourite author but the way the narrator read these I felt like I was at a dentist. Terrible narration no emotions and no passion with the greatest author’s works. This was like a college project read out in class.

Terrible narration

Narrator has very unpleasant voice that is harsh and grating. The beautiful writing cannot overcome the awful narration.
