The Vegetable, Or From President To Postman
''The Vegetable or From President to Postman'', more commonly known simply as ''The Vegetable'', is a 1923 play by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is his only play and is based on one of his short stories. Background In the original publication of ''The Vegetable, or From President to Postman'' (1923), F. Scott Fitzgerald included the following quotation on the title page: “Any man who doesn’t want to get on in the world, to make a million dollars, and maybe even park his toothbrush in the White House, hasn’t got as much to him as a good dog has—he’s nothing more or less than a vegetable.” Fitzgerald used this quotation, which he claimed came “from a current magazine,” as a springboard for his only published play. This comic romp satirizes the ambitions of an ordinary man who wants to be President of the United States—that is, if he cannot make it as a postman. Plot The play concerns the misadventures of the middle-class striver Jerry Frost. H ...
