Publisher's Summary:
The Jelly-Bean - one of the stories, which entered in a collection of eleven short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald 'Tales of the Jazz Age' (1922).  This is a Southern story, with the setting laid in the small Lily of Tarleton, Georgia. Fitzgerald wrote that he had 'a profound affection for Tarleton, but somehow whenever I write a story about it I receive letters from all over the South denouncing me in no uncertain terms.' Written shortly after his first novel was published, the author also collaborated with his wife on certain scenes. The story momentarily follows the life of a 'jelly-bean', or idler, named Jim Powell. An invitation to a dance with the old crowd revives his dreams of social advancement and love, until the consequences of drink and power of money come through and ruin them.
