Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Porcelain and Pink

This comedic short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald follows the character of Julie.
A nonsensical, witty, and charming tale, 'Porcelain and Pink' features a pink girl in a bathtub and an incident involving a false identity.
The bathroom setting was probably a bit shocking for the time, but Fitzgerald's humour shines through with her dialogue as she comes out with hysterical one-liners.
'Porcelain and Pink' will delight fans of Mark Twain.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan.

Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
