Dalyrimple is rich and arrogant and believes he stands above the standards of life itself. He can't find his place in society and flits between opportunities.

F. Scott Fitzgerald appears to satirize society in this short story with Dalyrimple seemingly mirroring corrupt politicians.

Filled with cynicism and wit, 'Dalyrimple Goes Wrong' will stick with you as it shows the lengths some people have to go to when they are really desperate.

´Dalyrimple Goes Wrong´ is the perfect read for fans of Ernest Hemingway.

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.
