Fitzgerald in the early to mid 1920s, around the time of “The Beautiful and Damned” (1922), “Tales of the Jazz Age” (1922), and “The Great Gatsby” (1925).
In a letter to his editor Maxwell Perkins in July 1922 Fitzgerald set forth a vision of his masterpiece, the novel that was to become “The Great Gatsby”:
“I want to write something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple & intricately patterned.”
