"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited—they went there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island and somehow they ended up at Gatsby's door. Once there they were introduced by somebody who knew Gatsby and after that they conducted themselves according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks. Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission. I had been actually invited."

Zärtlich ist die Nacht
Die Fähigkeit, innere Regungen mit wenigen Worten in einer schon beinahe ungemütlichen Genauigkeit zu beschreiben, dieses Talent spielt F. Scott Fitzgerald in Zärtlich ist die Nacht voll aus. Mit leichter Hand zeichnet er eine ganze Welt nach, verbildlicht die Ängste, Talente und Wünsche zahlreicher Figuren. Die Probleme in der Beziehung zwischen dem amerikanischen Psychiater Dick Diver und seiner Gattin Nicole, die wegen einer Schizophrenie als junge Frau in eine Klinik eingewiesen wurde, werden äußerst subtil, aber umso wirkungsvoller geschildert. Fitzgerald schafft es, eine eigentümliche Spannung aufzubauen: Obwohl die Schickeria in Zärtlich ist die Nacht oft nur von einem lockeren Gesellschaftsanlass zum nächsten eilt, ist man als Leser beunruhigt und spürt, dass etwas in der Luft liegt – bis Dick Divers Leben tatsächlich aus den Fugen gerät. Ein großes und zeitloses Werk.

El gran Gastby
"Francis Scott Fitzgerald decía que la vida es un asunto romántico y por eso seguramente logró maravillarnos con uno de los personajes más perdedores y, al mismo tiempo, más triunfadores y soñadores que ha dado la literatura por libros como El gran Gatsby. Jay Gatsby es el nuevo héroe del siglo XX, hecho a sí mismo sin demasiados escrúpulos. Es un fronterizo, un aventurero, pero también un román – tico, alguien capaz de arriesgarse hasta las últimas consecuencias por ir detrás de un simple brillo".
