The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

The Great Gatsby

 

In the spring of 1922, in an era of decaying morals, brilliant jazz, and "bootleg kings," Nick Carraway arrives in New York from the Midwest. Chasing his own American dream, he settles next door to the mysterious, party-loving millionaire Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin Daisy and her rake and aristocrat husband, Tom Buchanan. Nick is drawn into the fascinating world of the rich - their illusions, loves, and deceptions. He witnesses what is happening in this world and writes a story of impossible love, eternal dreams, and human tragedy that reflects modern times and mores.

Zelda

Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry “Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!”
