Babylon Revisited: Part 3
Portrait of a man who has squandered his life. Charles waits to hear if he has done enough to convince his sister-in-law that he is fit to regain custody of his daughter, Honoria.
By F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Read by Stuart Milligan.
Written in 1930, "Babylon Revisited" is one of Fitzgerald's finest short stories. Written in the aftermath of the Wall Street Crash, it's an intensely personal portrait of a man who has squandered his life: his fortune dissipated, his marriage broken, his child lost to him.
Part Three. Charles waits to hear whether he has done enough to convince his sister-in-law that he's fit to regain custody of his daughter, Honoria.
Abridged and produced by Kirsteen Cameron.
