"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms father..."
Welcome to Dream American, a fanlisting for Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. One of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century, Gatsby has a pretty good claim on the much-coveted title, "The Great American Novel". But, more than that, it's one of my favorite books, and I really want to share a part of that luxurious magic with the world. It's listed under the Books category of TFL, in the Fitzgerald, F. Scott subcategory.

The novel tells the sordid tale of a man who loves a woman and a woman who loves his money. Its backdrop is the glittering excesses of the Jazz Age- its hero is a bootlegger and its heroine is less than such. But the story reaches places in the soul of a dream that few writers dare venture. And, man, can that young fellow write.
