Anthony Doerr, author of “All the Light We Cannot See,” expresses passionate feelings about “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Jay Gatsby remains a permanent fixture of classic literature, formed by the poetic mind of Fitzgerald.

Nearly a century after its original publication, the quintessential novel continues to prove its worth as the plot reappears in pop culture references year after year. Countless adaptations of the unattainable romance between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan have kept audiences absorbed in the abandonment of social mores and exquisite scandal that represented Long Island in the 1920s.

Fitzgerald took advantage of Long Island’s close proximity to New York City, where party goers could nestle in comfortably to a life of luxury, still exposed to the pungent scent of opportunity and desire. “The Great Gatsby” serves as a reminder that, 90 years later, even the rich are always left wanting.
