The Great Gatsby & The Last Tycoon: an unfinished novel

The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.

Fitzgerald’s final book, The Last Tycoon remained unfinished at his death. Set in the heyday of Hollywood glitz, it is both a bitter-sweet love story and the author’s own moving farewell to the great American dream.
