Arthur Mizener, in his introductory essay to Flappers and Philosophers, explains that Fitzgerald once listed four of his stories "he would not be ashamed to see in a book with the work of writers like Conrad, Forster, and Lawrence (the stories were 'Absolution,' 'The Rich Boy,' 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,' and 'May Day')" (Flappers and Philosophers, page 1). Two of the stories are in this collection. "Absolution," which originally appeared in the June 1924 issue of The American Mercury, had been in an earlier draft of The Great Gatsby, but never made it into the final manuscript.
