"Kopf und Schultern" ist eine Kurzgeschichte von F. Scott Fitzgerald, die 1920 geschrieben und in der Saturday Evening Post veröffentlicht wurde. Später erschien sie in seiner Kurzgeschichtensammlung Flappers and Philosophers. Sie erzählt die Geschichte des jungen Wunderkindes Horace Tarbox, der sich trotz seiner Selbstbeherrschung in eine temperamentvolle Tänzerin verliebt.

Horace Tarbox ist ein junger und angehender Intellektueller in Princeton, der völlig in seine Studien vertieft ist. Marcia taucht eines Tages vor seiner Tür auf und zeigt Horace eine andere Seite des Lebens. Schnell kommt es zu einer ungewöhnlichen Beziehung zwischen einem Philosophen und einer Schauspielerin. Marcia überredet Horaz, ihren Revueauftritt zu besuchen, und er findet Gefühle und Wertschätzung für die schöne Frau. Sie erwidert die Zuneigung, indem sie sich von der Beziehung der beiden als "Wunderkinder", wie sie es nennt, angezogen fühlt. Wohin diese ungewöhnliche Beziehung der beiden führt, das erzählt die Geschichte.

"Head and Shoulders" is the story of what happens when Yale philosopher Horace Tarbox-the "head"-answers the door to Vaudeville star Marcia-the "shoulders." Marcia's performance is but the first step in an astonishing role reversal that will prove, ".when you [open] the door at the rap of life, you let in many things.""Head and Shoulders" was collected in Flappers and Philosophers (1920), and is resonant with many of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most popular themes including mismatched lovers, the sacrifices made for love, and romantic disappointment.

But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
