Taps at Reveille is a collection of 18 short stories by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1935.[1] It was the fourth and final volume of previously uncollected short stories Fitzgerald published in his lifetime.[2] The volume appeared a year after his novel Tender is the Night was published.[1] The collection includes several stories featuring autobiographical creations derived from Fitzgerald's youth, namely Basil Duke Lee and Josephine Perry.[3][4]
The collection's last story, "Babylon Revisited", is one of Fitzgerald's most highly regarded.[5][6]
