Curious Case of Benjamin Button: and Other Jazz Age Tales / F. Scott Fitzgerald audiobook
I was familiar with the title story from the film with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and it was fun to hear the many ways the original differed from the film. The tone here is more strange and macabre than the film, which could be said about the other stories as well. In Diamond as Big as the Ritz, which is a cheerful enough title, a naive prep school student spends a summer with a classmate whose family is in possession of said diamond, as well as an elaborate security apparatus for protecting it. Uneasy listening for a long, dark road trip.
