The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (narrated by Evan Mercer)

F. Scott Fitzgerald's most famous short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, is about a man who ages in reverse, from senescence to infancy, First published in Collier's Magazine (May 27, 1922), the story was adapted in 2008 for an Academy Award winning film starring Brad Pitt. Other than the main character aging in reverse, however, the film version is totally different from the original.
In the introduction, Fitzgerald writes that:
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain’s to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world, I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial. The story was published in Collier’s last summer and provoked this startling letter from an anonymous admirer in Cincinnati:
Sir,
I have read the story Benjamin Button in Colliers, and I wish to say that as a short story writer you would make a good lunatic. I have seen many pieces of cheese in my life, but of all the pieces of cheese I have ever seen, you are the biggest piece. I hate to waste a piece of stationary on you, but I will."
