Scott Fitzgerald123. It follows a similar but subversive plot with a \u003cstrong\u003epostmodern twist\u003c\/strong\u003e that deconstructs the metaphors and symbols of the original story. The novel is a \u003cstrong\u003esatire\u003c\/strong\u003e of the American dream, the Jazz Age, and the literary canon. It is also a \u003cstrong\u003etribute\u003c\/strong\u003e to Fitzgerald's language and style, as Jewusiak imitates and subverts his poetic prose. Jewusiak is fascinated by Fitzgerald's life and work, as well as the \u003cstrong\u003ecriticism\u003c\/strong\u003e of his flaws and contradictions. He may have written Gatsby as a way of \u003cstrong\u003echallenging\u003c\/strong\u003e the literary canon, the American dream, and the readers' expectations. He may also have written it as a form of \u003cstrong\u003eexperimentation\u003c\/strong\u003e with language, style, and metafiction.\" Bartelby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas G.
