"Winter Dreams" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that first appeared in Metropolitan Magazine in December 1922, and was collected in All the Sad Young Men in 1926. It is considered one of Fitzgerald's finest stories and is frequently anthologized. In the Fitzgerald canon, it is considered to be in the "Gatsby-cluster," as many of its themes were later expanded upon in his famous novel The Great Gatsby in 1925. Writing his editor Max Perkins in June 1925, Fitzgerald described "Winter Dreams" as "A sort of first draft of the Gatsby idea." This story first appeared in the December edition of Metropolitan Magazine in 1922. Dexter Green is a middle-class boy who aspires to be part of the "old money" elite. Dexter mentions that he was born in Keeble, Minnesota. His father owns the second most profitable grocery store in the town. He starts out as a teenage golf caddy at a Golf Club in Black Bear Lake, Minnesota, which has been suggested is really White Bear Lake, where Fitzgerald lived for a relatively short time at the Yacht Club. Dexter meets Judy Jones and works under her father, Mortimer Jones, at the club. He clearly has a crush on her. One day, he is assigned to caddy for her but quits instead; he can't abide acting as one of her servants. After college, Dexter gets involved in a partnership in a laundry business. He returns to the Sherry Island Golf Club and is invited to play golf with the men for whom he once caddied. He encounters Judy Jones again on the golf course, only now she is older and amazingly beautiful. Later in the evening Dexter swims to a raft on the lake, and runs into Judy, who is driving a motor boat. She asks him to take over while she rides on a surfboard attached to the boat. After this encounter, Judy invites Dexter to dinner, where their affair begins. He soon finds that he is one of a dozen men she is stringing along. After about 18 months Dexter becomes engaged to Irene Scheerer, a kind but ordinary looking girl, while Judy is vacationing in Florida. When Judy returns, however, she again captures Dexter's heart and asks him to marry her. Dexter breaks off his engagement with Irene, only to be dropped again by Judy a month later. To deal with his heartbreak, Dexter joins the army to fight in World War I. After the War, seven years later, Dexter has become a businessman in New York City. He had become phenomenally rich and hadn't visited his home in years. On a particular day, a man, Devlin, from Detroit visits Dexter for business. During the meeting, Devlin mentions Judy Simms, formerly Judy Jones, the wife of one his friends and explains how she had become a housewife. Dexter becomes interested and learns from Devlin that Judy had settled and her beauty had faded; her husband is also cruel to her. The news hit Dexter hard as he still had love and hope for Judy. Later Dexter realizes that his dream is gone and that he can never return home now.

This sloppy version stinks. The document is poorly edited, if at all, and the ending has been clipped off. Luckily, I had other versions in my library. I don't know which is worse: flushing my hard earned money down the toilet or knowing that someone made a buck off of Zelda's and F. Scott's creativity & labor. I have since learned to download samples to peruse before purchase. Should I label "getting ripped off" a form of tuition?Product details

Winter Dreams F Scott Fitzgerald 9781495333408 Books Reviews
I have always considered Fitzgerald to be an overrated writer. This piece has some value in reflecting the society of the day, but beyond that, little to recommend it.
As this was a spur of the moment order, and the tittle was unknown to me, I felt like taking a risk.
The first impression upon recipet of the book was-"it missing some pages?"
I am amazed how few pages are in this story. The book ends at what should be a turning point in the story line.
Disappointed
Absolutely amazing short story. Captivating, beautiful imagery, just...great. F. Scott Fitzgerald has done it again. I could not put it down.
such a great writer
Great!
One of my favorite stories from high school without having to buy an entire textbook, would recommend to anyone who loves 20th century literature.
Love all Fitzgerald, book was prompt as as expected
