Winter Dreams

Winter Dreams

"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. The story was based upon Fitzgerald's pursuit of wealthy Chicago socialite Ginevra King and her lack of interest in him due to his lack of financial prospects. 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.
