original description

“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” is a 1922 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is being adapted for a December 19, 2008 film of the same name directed by David Fincher starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton. Fitzgerald’s short story first appeared in the May 27, 1922 edition of Collier’s Weekly. Later that year it was included in his book of short stories, “Tales of the Jazz Age.” The protagonist “Benjamin Button” is born as a feeble old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby at the end of his life and finally ceases to exist. Fitzgerald noted that “This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain’s to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end.” Button is from a well-to-do family in Baltimore, Maryland. He is able to live a relatively normal middle portion of his life when his biological and chronological ages are not too drastically far apart, but he has more problems at either end. The story is in part comic and part melancholy.
