Babylon Revisited by F. Scott Fitzgerald
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My first Fitzgerald - and definitively not my last! The two longer short stories ;) - Babylon Revisited and The Cut-Glass Bowl - were, well, remarkable! I can't think of a better word. I think I'll remember them for quite a time as they were both (though completely different) touching, sad and somehow strange but still they felt so real. They seemed to be typically 1920s-y and at the same time could just have happened to my neighbors yesterday.
Only the last very short story - The Lost Decade - was a little too strange for my taste and that's the only reason why I rate with one star missing.
