Fitzgerald dethroned Mark Twain as America’s most important writer, for he wrote of the affliction that struck America.
The same affliction of a malicious sentient spirit that plagued The British and German empires all the same.
It’s intoxicating.
It’s alluring.
It was personified in Gatsby.
The illusion of a higher ideal than God as proposed by Nietzsche under the influence of the same malicious spirit.
Now they can all be called the beautiful and damned.
