Bernice Bobs Her Hair

Bernice Bobs Her Hair is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's true chefs-d'oeuvre. A wonderfully imaginative short story, Bernice, a shy retiring girl of the Roaring 20s, craves to be popular. On the advice of her flapper cousin, Bernice snips her long hair into a daring short bob, begins dressing more stylishly, and learns a girl's Most Valuable Rule: "When you're with a man, there are only three topics of conversation: you, me and us."

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD (1896 –1940) is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night are among his masterworks.
