In “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz” the reader is transported to a fabulous fantasy land of such opulence that it has to remain a secret and jealously guarded domain. Frequently fatal consequences lie in store for bona fide guests and uninvited visitors alike, while the sybarite lucxury of the place is evoked in a velvet prose style which is quintessential F. Scott Fitzgerald.
