(My individual response to C. Wax was returned to me.) Don't know if I've heard of a Gatsby character in a recent mystery. However, I did just order the following 2006 novel from Amazon this week: Gatsby's Girl by Caroline Preston 'Inspired by the ephemeral but intense historical romance between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his first love, Chicago debutante Ginevra King, Preston bases her sexy, self-centered title character both on Fitzgerald's crush and the female characters (Daisy Buchanan, etc.) for which she was his muse. Ginevra Perry is the spoiled 16-year-old expert flirt who catches Scott Fitzgerald's fancy in 1916 , , , .Gatsby's Girl opens in 1950, 10 years after Fitzgerald's death, when Genevra gets a call from Scottie, the Fitzgeralds' only child, asking to hear her version of what happened. That invitation launches Genevra on the story of her life 'without the moonlight.'" ************************************ Debra Gniewek, Librarian CRHS South Holland, PA vm: 215-944-1175 fax: 215-944-1144 dgniewek@crsd.org dgniewek@comcast.net ************************************ Carol Wax <cwax@ANTILLES.VI> To:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject:GEN: Gatsbys as characters in a new book Date:Friday, February 02, 2007 4:03:50 PM [View Source] Hello - I am looking for the title of a new book about which I recently read a review (not that I remember where this review was located!). The book was a mystery, I think, and Jay Gatsby was an actual living character in the book. Does this sound familiar to you?
