One Trip Abroad

Last updated

"One Trip Abroad" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story first appeared in the Saturday Evening Post on October 11, 1930. Some of the story's content was later re-used by Fitzgerald in his novel Tender Is the Night (1934).

The story consists of two characters, Nelson and Nicole Kelly, two wealthy American expatriates who travel through Europe. Unlike much 1920s literature in which European residence is adventurous and cosmopolitan, the two experience both moral and physical decline in their marriage and in their bodies, symbolized by the Doppelgängers whom they encounter at the end of the short story.
