Head and Shoulders (1920) by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in the Saturday Evening Post and later in his short story collection, Flappers and Philosophers (also available from Cosimo Classics), features Horace, a Princeton academic, who falls for flapper, Marcia. Marcia's shoulders shaking in her performances and Horace's "head" with his academia are the basis for the title. Ironically, by the end of the story the two reverse, and Horace becomes the shoulders of the relationship and Marcia, the head. The story was also made into a silent film, The Chorus Girl's Romance (1920). With characters reminiscent of Gatsby and Daisy, this romance is for fans of The Great Gatsby (1925) and Fitzgerald.
