QUICKLET ON F. SCOTT FITZGERALD THE GREAT GATSBY EBOOK (edición en inglés)

ABOUT THE BOOK F. Scott Fitzgeralds grand story about disillusionment and hopeless love has charmed generations of readers and critics, but perhaps The Great Gatsbys greatest fan was its author. He told his editor, “I think my novel is about the best American novel ever written. So Fitzgerald is not the most humble man, but as the author of a novel which both  chastises and celebrates humanitys vices, that fact should not come as such a surprise. The Great Gatsby, though a rather slender book, expounds upon larger-than-life flaws and mistakes of its characters. It is a story of more than just people, but of a country and a society lost amidst their own wealth, searching for their individuality and salvation. MEET THE AUTHOR Hayley Igarashi is a student at UC Davis preparing to graduate this summer with a degree in both history and philosophy. She has been writing fictional short stories since she was a child, and a couple of her pieces have even been published in small online magazines. Only recently has she discovered how nice writing about real life can be, a realization that took surprisingly long considering her background in history. She likes to read and at the moment is most inspired by the writings of Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Safran Foer, Kazuo Ishiguro, and because everyone needs a guilty pleasure, George R. R. Martin. When not studying for school, she enjoys doing normal things like hanging out with friends and family and watching movies. Items on her bucket list include sky-diving, running a marathon, writing a full-length novel, and learning how to cook something that tastes good.
