The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald

&quot,I want to write something new, something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned.&quot,&nbsp, — F. Scott Fitzgerald (1923).

&ldquo,The first step American fiction has taken since Henry James.&quot, &ndash, T. S. Eliot.

&quot,One of the most important works in American literature &mdash, and, to many, the great American novel.&quot, &mdash, Time.

&nbsp,

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald&rsquo,s masterpiece is perhaps &ldquo,The Great American Novel.&rdquo,&nbsp, It is as Fitzgerald hoped, something new, something extraordinary. &nbsp, It is set in Long Island, during the excitement and enthusiasm of &ldquo,the Jazz Age,&rdquo, a term coined by Fitzgerald in his earlier collection, Tales of the Jazz Age.&nbsp, Fitzgerald himself was part of this milieu.&nbsp,&nbsp,&nbsp,

The handsome millionaire Jay Gatsby seems to have everything, but where did his wealth come from, and what is he still in search of?&nbsp,&nbsp,

The Great Gatsby was not a commercial success initially, and it was only after Fitzgerald&rsquo,s early death that it was appreciated.&nbsp, It is now near the top of almost every list of best novels and is on almost every curriculum.&nbsp,&nbsp,

Francis Scott Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 &ndash, December 21, 1940) was an American novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and short-story writer, although he is best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age. His life mirrors that of Jay Gatsby in some ways.&nbsp, Writer Richard Ford calls Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Faulkner &ldquo,the Three Kings who set the measure for every writer since.&rdquo,
