The Pusher-in-the-Face

Charles Stuart just wanted to sit quietly in the audience and watch the play, but Mrs Robinson and her two friends in the row behind had other ideas...

As the curtain falls on the first act, an exasperated Mr Stuart, fed up with the constant chattering and kicking of his seat, turns to Mrs Robinson and pushes her in the face.

This classic, humorous tale, plays out in the courtroom as Charles Stuart tries to defend himself against the charge of assault and battery.

A witty short story, ‘The Pusher-in-the-Face’ is the ideal read for 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.
