  Inspiration, and modern times

  This book was the very reason I've decided to become a writer. It's the reason Fitzgerald is my favorite author, (though I'll admit This Side of Paradise does have its errors, even reading forty pages in.)
  I used to HATE my teacher for grinding this into my head. I remember staying up late, and not quite understanding the book at 3 a.m. (yes, I was lazy.)
  But now... I mean, there's so much complexity to this novel. And it's all I can hope to one day write a book that's as good as Fitzgerald's.
  Although, do you think an author can write like Fitzgerald in the modern era? Can he write with all the complexity? (or she?) Or is it beyond our time to pick up a dictionary mid-read?

    In response to Gannon Kendrick

    The greay Gatsby was about the Jazz age and the values of the social celeberities embodied it. I actaully think a book about social celeberities would be very timely now as a reflection of Americana. However, I also think Gatsby had other elements going for it too.
