The Ice Palace

The Ice Palace

"The Ice Palace" is a modernist short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published in The Saturday Evening Post, 22 May 1920. It is one of eight short stories originally published in Fitzgerald's first collection, "Flappers and Philosophers" (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1920), and is also included in the collection "Babylon Revisited and Other Stories" (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1960).

The story is about Sally Carrol Happer, a young southern woman from Tarleton, Georgia, who is bored with her unchanging environment and becomes engaged to Harry Bellamy, a man from an icy northern town.

The Ice Palace is also the name of the famous 1970s Fire Island exclusive club, which was the pre-cursor to contemporary "circuit parties."
