What is Fitzgerald's 1926 short story collection called?

Fitzgerald’s 1926 short-story collection is called All the Sad Young Men.

Charles Scribner’s Sons published the collection in February 1926, less than a year after The Great Gatsby. It gathers nine stories, including “The Rich Boy,” “Winter Dreams,” “Absolution,” “The Baby Party,” and “The Sensible Thing.” Several had first appeared in magazines before being collected in book form.

The title reflects Fitzgerald’s recurring portrait of young people facing disappointment, romantic failure, disillusionment, and the fading promise of the Jazz Age. In a letter to editor Maxwell Perkins, Fitzgerald explained that seven stories concerned young men of his generation in unhappy moods. The phrase therefore describes the collection’s emotional atmosphere rather than identifying one particular story.

Readers sometimes confuse this book with Fitzgerald’s later collections. Taps at Reveille appeared in 1935, while the similarly titled Men Without Women is a 1927 collection by Ernest Hemingway. All the Sad Young Men also occupies an important place in Fitzgerald’s career: it followed his breakthrough novel and showed how seriously he regarded his short fiction, even while he sometimes considered parts of it commercial work.
