The Great Gatsby trailer

I'm reading The Great Gatsby so when the film comes out later in the year I can compare it to the book, and also because I find inspiration in these Great American Authors and their style of storytelling.

And inspiration is what I'm looking for right now as I weigh up all the ideas running through my mind for my second novel.

In the spirit of the likes of Fitzgerald, or Twain, Salinger and Steinbeck, I would like to pen the equivalent of the great American novel.

But in my case it would be the Great Essex Novel. With fake tan.
