Commentary Containing Books The Great Gatsby

2.5 Stars1) Always google who you are going to fall in love with. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. 2) For the love of God, make a 401K They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there unrestfully wherever people played polo and were rich together. 3) Never swallow a thesaurus. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life. Jay Gatsby is rich - the kind of exorbitant rich that

This is an all right-ish kind of novel, I suppose, but I always preferred Fitzgeralds little-known prequel The Average Gatsby, although some people found the vision of Mervyn Gatsby, Jays obscure brother, living a reasonably okayish life as the manager of a carpet and upholstery warehouse in Des Moines a trifle dispiriting. I quite agree that The Bad Gatsby was a shameless self-ripoff which did Fitzgerald no favours. (The threesome scene between Warren Harding, John Dillinger and Gatsby was in

I don't know if my appreciation of this should be tempered by the fact I was about three quarters of the way through before I realised I'd read it before (though I think it was many years ago)!PLOTIt is (mostly) set in Long Island in summer of 1922, amongst the young, idle, amoral rich, playing fast and loose with their own lives and indeed, those of others.

There was one thing I really liked about The Great Gatsby.It was short.

"The Great Gatsby" is considered by many to be the zenith of American fiction writing in the last century. I won't say that it is the best American novel I've read but I will say it is probably the most perfect.Along with J.D. Salinger, Fitzgerald has got to be my favorite writer of fiction. As opposed to Hemingway's bluntness, and Faulkner's artiness, Fitzgerald's prose seems(to paraphrase Michael Chabon) to rain down from style heaven. His style in fact is like the ladies he writes about:

Jay Gatsby, is a mysterious young man, who gives extravagant parties on Long Island, New York, outside his palatial mansion , in the warm, lazy, summer nights. That he doesn't know the people he invites, not to mention the numerous gatecrashers, might make it a little strange, but this being the roaring 20's, anything goes, rumors abound about Gatsby, bootlegger ? Who cares, as long as the free liquor flows, the great food served, and the beautiful music, continues playing. Finally attending one

There once was a man they called Jay,A symbol of Jazz Age decay.And just as Scott held aFixation for Zelda,Jays Daisy dream sure made him pay!
