"He had no plans, no definite intentions, except to kiss her lips again, to hold her in his arms." ¿F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Four Fists (1920) ¿The Four Fists (1920) was first published as part of a collection of short stories, Flappers and Philosophers (also available from Cosimo Classics) and features Samuel Meredith, a man whose face seems to be quite hittable. The fists to the face begin when he is an arrogant student in boarding school, punched for his superiority. Samuel does not fight back but rather takes the first hit and the three subsequent fists to the face. Instead of producing a negative reaction, the hits help Samuel achieve success in life. A character study with morality undertones, this is essential reading for fans of Fitzgerald's well-crafted prose.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American author of novels and short stories. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and his most famous, The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with despair and age. Peter Joucla studied performing arts at Middlesex University. He taught theatre and music in schools and colleges both in England and abroad for several years before gaining full employment in theatre, first as Musical Director with Trestle Theatre Company and later as an actor with The American Drama Group. He founded Tour De Force Theatre Company in 1995 and has since directed nearly fifty productions for the company, which have toured extensively to large-scale venues around the world. He is also a composer and playwright.
