Reverse Gear...F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is not one of the author's more famous stories but it sure is interesting.
Written in 1922, the story asks us to contemplate what it would be like to be born an old man, age backwards, and effectively become a baby in an adult-sized body. Seems we are more than willing to examine these questions and do it well...
A gently illustrated form of Benjamin Button has been a popular selection by local teens for a quite a while. Little wonder; the movie version starring Brad Pitt was promoted and released over the holiday weekend. A no pictures version of Fitzgerald's short story is also available for checkout or reserve.
