The Glories of Great Neck in Gatsby Days

Scott and Zelda, Of Course

Speaking of the Great Neck Record (see yesterday’s post), I have an article in there today commemorating the centennial of the publication of The Great Gatsby, and the amazing social scene in Great Neck at the time Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald resided here, and through the rest of the Jazz Age. It’s based on a talk I have given a couple of times. You can read that Great Neck Record piece here. (It’s loaded with ads, and behind a paywall, but nevertheless, it’s there, if you’re willing brave those barriers. Capitalism, and all.)

And for related reading here on Travalanche:
