The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


I've been reading a lot of door-stoppers lately. It was fun to take a break and enjoy something short and satisfying.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1921. The story does just what my favorite science fiction always accomplishes- illuminates the human experience by looking at it from an unusual perspective. In the case of Benjamin Button, this perspective is, literally, backwards.
