About May Day
"May Day" is a short story by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald published in The Smart Set in July 1920. The story was included in his 1922 short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age. The plot follows a blithe coterie of privileged Yale alumni who meet for a social dance during the May Day riots of 1919. The riots erupted in multiple cities including New York City and Cleveland when thousands of socialists protested the conviction of Eugene Debs and mounted police suppressed the large rallies.
