Mr. Icky
USD $ 4,60

MR. ICKY, quaintly dressed in the costume of an Elizabethan peasant, is pottering and doddering among the pots and dods. He is an old man, well past the prime of life, no longer young, From the fact that there is a burr in his speech and that he has absent-mindedly put on his coat wrongside out, we surmise that he is either above or below the ordinary superficialities of life. Near him on the grass lies PETER, a little boy. PETER, of course, has his chin on his palm like the pictures of the young Sir Walter Raleigh. He has a complete set of features, including serious, sombre, even funereal, gray eyes—and radiates that alluring air of never having eaten food. This air can best be radiated during the afterglow of a beef dinner. Be is looking at MR. ICKY, fascinated.

Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Autor

(Saint Paul, Minnesota, 24 de septiembre de 1896 - Hollywood, California, 21 de diciembre de 1940), fue un novelista estadounidense de la época del jazz. En sus novelas expresa el desencanto de los privilegiados jóvenes de su generación que arrastraban su lasitud entre el jazz y el gin (A este lado del paraíso, 1920), en Europa sobre la Costa Azul (Suave es la noche, 1934), o en el fascinante decoro de las ciudades estadounidenses (El gran Gatsby, 1925).

Se le considera uno de los más importantes escritores estadounidenses del siglo XX. Fue portavoz de la «Generación Perdida», aquellos estadounidenses nacidos en la última década del siglo XIX que les tocó madurar durante la I Guerra Mundial. Escribió cinco novelas y docenas de historias breves que abordan temas como «la juventud» o «la desesperación» con una extraordinaria honestidad al plasmar sus emociones. Sus héroes, atractivos, confiados y condenados, resplandecen brillantemente antes de explotar («Muéstrame un héroe», dijo Fitzgerald en una ocasión, «y te escribiré una tragedia»), y sus heroínas son bellas y de personalidad compleja.
