F. Scott Fitzgerald 
Jelly-Bean 

Jim Powell can’t help but be defined as a "jelly-bean"-a man who spends his life in a state of idleness. Not particularly sociable and ill at ease around women, Jim decides to dedicate his life to his work. Yet, after returning from service in the First World War, Jim meets an old classmate by chance, and through him, may evolve into something more than just a jelly-bean."The Jelly-Bean" references the locale and some of the characters that were featured in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s earlier story, "The Ice Palace."Harper Perennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
