Tell me about the book The Great Gatsby.

Based in part on Fitzgerald's 1922 romance with Ginevra King, the book follows the story of Jay Gatsby as he attempts to rekindle a relationship with Daisy Buchanan. It details high society on Long Island in the 1920s and offers a unique snapshot of popular culture of the period.
