以年轻男女为主角的精彩单元剧。一半的故事有《了不起的盖茨比》的影子：小男孩被高枝上的漂亮小鸟吸引，顶着浪潮拼命划桨；衣着光鲜的年轻女郎明眸顾盼，束发带和尖头高跟鞋都金灿灿的晃眼睛——爱情在他们之间推来搡去，轻率得目不暇给。另一半里的年轻人要柴米油盐得多：妻子埋怨没原则的丈夫借钱给从不还钱的朋友，为妻子跟友人大打出手的丈夫，又打发妻子出门道歉。这些故事发生在乡下教堂里、游轮甲板上、舞池里，一张张面孔走马灯似的，鲜活得有种熟悉感。

A book of short stories. I wanted to read "The Sensible Thing" to work through the so-called Gatsby Cluster of stories, but almost all the stories are very good.

I enjoyed this. He got a little experimental here as a couple had pretty strange endings. The 9 stories are as follows:

The Rich Boy - 4 Stars
Winter Dreams - 3 Stars
The Baby Party - 5 Stars
Absolution - 4 Stars
Rags Martin-Jones and the Prince of Wales - 4 Stars
The Adjuster - 5 Stars
Hot and Cold Blood - 4 Stars
The Sensible Thing - 5 Stars
Gretchen’s Forty Winks - 5 Stars
