Fitzgerald dethroned Mark Twain as America’s most important writer, for he wrote of the affliction that struck America. 

The same affliction of a malicious sentient spirit that plagued The British and German empires all the same. 

It’s intoxicating.

It’s alluring. 

It was personified in Gatsby. 

The illusion of a higher ideal than God as proposed by Nietzsche under the influence of the same malicious spirit. 

Now they can all be called the beautiful and damned.
