#OnThisDay in 1922 Collier's Magazine published a new short story by F Scott Fitzgerald - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Inspiration for this tale of a man aging backwards came from a Mark Twain quote: "It is a pity that the best part of life comes at the beginning, and the worst part at the end." A 2008 film adaptation made some changes, incl changing Button's wife's name from Hildegarde to Daisy in a nod to Gatsby. #HistoryGetsLIT
