“The attitude of the city on his action was of no importance to him, not because he was going to leave the city, but because any outside attitude on the situation seemed superficial. He was completely indifferent to popular opinion.”

American novelist and short story writer of the Jazz Age F. Scott Fitzgerald is best known for his novel *The Great Gatsby*, a sharp critique of the American Dream and the excesses of the 1920s. His prose, rich with lyrical detail and psychological insight, captures the disillusionment and ambition of his era.
