Publisher's Synopsis
Although F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for the kind of subtle, polished social commentary found in his masterpiece The Great Gatsby, his little-known novella May Day is unique in that it is the most raw, direct political commentary he ever wrote. It is a tale of the brutalities of the American class system - of privileged college boys, soldiers returning from a bloody war and a group of left-wing journalists, all confronting each other in the heart of New York City on May Day at the end of World War I.
