-I want to give a really bad party. I mean it. I want to give a party where there-s a brawl and seductions and people going home with their feelings hurt and women passed out in the cabinet de toilette. You wait and see.-
The crackle of gin on ice, the first chords of the band, the low hum of gossip- whether you love or loathe parties, Fitzgerald writes them like no one else. From glittering occasions complete with an orchestra and dancing girls to a fist-fight at the end of a toddler-s birthday, this is a dazzling collection of party pieces from the master of celebration.
Selected from The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night and Flappers and Philosophers
