New Book Compiles F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Alabama Stories

By Erin Harney

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the Jazz Age, as well as the marriage of two of the most iconic figures of the Roaring Twenties – Alabama native Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

In celebration of the Fitzgeralds, NewSouth Books has released, “All of the Belles,” the first-ever collection of Fitzgerald’s short stories based on Zelda’s hometown of Montgomery.

“Fitzgerald wrote only three stories specifically about Montgomery,” said Kirk Curnutt, author of the introduction to the volume, executive director of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society and managing editor of the Fitzgerald Review. “They’ve been reproduced in a lot of books before, collected in a lot of anthologies with many of his other over-160 short stories … but they’ve never been presented together as a trilogy.”
