Ross Macdonald wrote several essays talking about Gatsby as a
sort of detective novel. I would refer you to Macdonald's
"Self-portrait: Ceaselessly into the Past," published by
Capra Press in 1981. "The skeleton of Fitzgerald's great
work, if not its nervous system, is that of a maystery
novel." Elsewhere in the essays Macdonald talks how he reads
Gatsby once a year. "Like Mark Twain and Stephen Crane,
Fitzgerald listened to people talking before he sat down to
write."
