"The Camel's Back" (Chapter I of V) by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"The glazed eye of the tired reader resting for a second on the above title will presume it to be merely metaphorical. Stories about the cup and the lip and the bad penny and the new broom rarely have anything to do with cups or lips or pennies or brooms. This story is the exception. It has to do with a material, visible and large-as-life camel's back." So begins F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "The Camel's Back" (1920). To continue reading Chapter I of that story, click here.
