Following F. Scott Fitzgerald’s two-year residency in Great Neck, Long island, this 1926 news article from “The Great Neck News” editorial references to the highly debated discussion as to which part of the North or South shore of Long Island, New York was loosely based on and inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald’s depiction of the infamous “West Egg”. This part of New York known as “West Egg” was mentioned in his famous modernist novel “The Great Gatsby,” which was released in 1925.
