Two for a Cent

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

"He had been bored with the President, he had been bored and not a little embarrassed with the duchesses-nevertheless, the two incidents had pleased him and still sat softly upon his naive vanity."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, Two for a Cent (1922)

Two for a Cent (1922) by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a short story that deviates from his romantic plotline and is the first of several he wrote in which a man returns to his hometown. The story opens with juxtaposed main characters. First introduced is highly successful Abercrombie standing in front of a ramshackle house, seeming out of place in the Southern town in which he was born. Then, he meets the equally ramshackle previous renter of the house, and the two discover they have more in common than they realize. This book is for readers who enjoy a thought-provoking tale of the rich and the poor.
