"May Day" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald published in The Smart Set in the July 1920 issue.[2] The story was included in his 1922 short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age.[3] The plot follows a blithe coterie of privileged Yale alumni who meet for a social dance during the May Day riots of 1919. The riots erupted in multiple cities including Cleveland, Ohio and New York City after socialists protested the conviction of Eugene Debs. The story has been compared to J.D. Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish."[4]
