Fitzgerald set out to write the Great American Novel, and then he kind of did.
TGG is my favorite book of all time, and that is pretty much my thoughts exactly: he wrote the Great American Novel. This line will always stay with me:
"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy-They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back to their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made"
