Dalyrimple Goes Wrong

Bryan Dalyrimple returns to his hometown as a war hero after World War I, only to find himself facing limited opportunities and growing frustration. As traditional paths seem closed, he considers turning to crime, reflecting the challenges faced by many returning soldiers of that era. Originally part of Fitzgerald's 1920 collection Flappers and Philosophers, the story explores the post-war experiences and societal sentiments toward returning veterans.
