“Winter Dreams” is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that first appeared in the Metropolitan Magazine in December 1922, and was collected in All The Sad Young Men in 1926. It is one of Fitzgerald’s finest stories and is frequently anthologized. In the Fitzgerald canon, it is considered to be in the ‘Gatsby era’, as many of its themes were later expanded upon in his famous novel The Great Gatsby in 1925.
