Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece is perhaps \"The Great American Novel,\" and its protagonist, Jay Gatsby, is an almost mythic figure in American culture. It is, as Fitzgerald hoped, something new, something extraordinary. The novel is set on Long Island, during the enthusiasm, abandon, and free-flowing illegal liquor of \"the Jazz Age,\" a term coined by Fitzgerald, who was himself was the quintessential chronicler of The Roaring Twenties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handsome millionaire Jay Gatsby seems to have everything, but where did his wealth come from, and what is he still in search of? Gatsby's life mirrors Fitzgerald's: they both fell in love, then struggled to establish themselves financially to prove themselves worthy. Fitzgerald wrote, \"Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.\" Gatsby was a tragic hero, much like his creator. This incandescent and magical novel is near the top of almost every list of \"best novels.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitzgerald considered \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTender is the Night\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e his best novel.
