Berman's criticism creates an ideal\u003cbr\u003e         companion piece to the novel--as brilliantly illuminating about America\u003cbr\u003e         as it is about fiction, and composed with as much thought and style.\"\u003cbr\u003e        \u003cbr\u003e         -- Roger Rosenblatt\u003cbr\u003e       \"An impressive study\u003cbr\u003e         that brilliantly highlights the oneness of Fitzgerald's art with the overall\u003cbr\u003e         context of modernism.\" -- Milton R.
