Absolution

A confession to a Catholic Priest leads to a terrifying judgement that Rudolph Miller had not foreseen.

Originally intended as a prologue to Fitzgerald’s masterpiece ‘The Great Gatsby’, this short tale follows the life of 11-year-old Catholic Rudolph Miller, who fantasises about his self-created alter ego, Blatchford Sarnemington.

First published in ‘The American Mercury’ in 1924, it was later included in Fitzgerald's third short story collection ‘All the Sad Young Men’ in 1926.

‘Absolution’ is the ideal read for fans of ´The Great Gatsby´.

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.
