[eng/GROUP] Short Stories I by F. Scott Fitzgerald - crow

Post by crowwings »

Short Stories I by F. Scott Fitzgerald (*1896 - † 1940)
F Scott Fitzgerald was an American writer and a contemporary of Virginia Woolf.

Fitzgerald is considered by many to be one of the twentieth century's greatest writers and "The Great Gatsby" is a 20th Century classic. The article on the book at Wikipedia notes that "the novel chronicles an era that Fitzgerald himself dubbed the 'Jazz Age.'
Following the shock and chaos of World War I, American society enjoyed unprecedented levels of prosperity during the 'roaring' 1920s as the economy soared. At the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, made millionaires out of bootleggers and led to an increase in organized crime. Although Fitzgerald, like Nick Carraway in his novel, idolized the riches and glamour of the age, he was uncomfortable with the unrestrained materialism and lack of morality that went with it."...

Here is a list and word count of all the stories you might use.
You can find them all here:
http://gutenberg.net.au/pages/fitzgerald.html
Choose any you want, but make sure, that it is not already claimed ... check the Magic Window for that ...
Some stories need splitting into two parts, check the hints below.

If your recording takes over 65 minutes (slow reading might cause that) and the story is not split yet, then do so by yourself, but don't forget to tell us, so that we can adjust the magic window. THANKS!

Hello!

I noticed that there has not been much activity for some time on this forum. The latest posts appear to be from 2014. I am interested in reading for some of the F. Scott Fitzgerald's Short Stories. Please let me know if this forum is still active and you are accepting readers' contributions.

Thank you!

Good to have you joining us, T ... yes, the forum is still active, though rather quiet at the moment. And this particular project seems to have dropped off the radar a little, so I appreciate you posting to wake it up. :D

We'd be happy to accept contributions! Have you recorded at LibriVox or elsewhere, or is this a new venture?
