Where All Good Flappers Go

“I believe in the flapper as an artist in her particular field, the art of being – being young, being lovely.” — Zelda Fitzgerald

A sparkling new collection of “flapper fiction”: stories featuring the iconic women who defined the Jazz Age

Edited and introduced by David M. Earle

Vivacious, charming, irreverent, the flapper is a girl who knows how to have a roaring good time.

In this collection of short stories, she’s a partygoer, a socialite, a student, a shopgirl, and an acrobat. She bobs her hair, shortens her skirt, searches for a husband and scandalises her mother. She’s a glittering object of delight, and a woman embracing a newfound independence.

Bringing together stories from widely adored writers and newly discovered gems, principally sourced from the magazines of the period, this collection is a celebration of the outrageous charm of an iconic figure of the Jazz Age.

This fabulous collection includes:

Zelda Fitzgerald “What Became of the Flapper”
Dana Ames “The Clever Little Fool”
F. Scott Fitzgerald “Bernice Bobs her Hair”
Rudolph Fisher “Common Meter”
John Watts “Something For Nothing”
Dorothy Parker “The Mantle of Whistler”

Dawn Powell “Not the Marrying Kind”
