Hi I'm Alan Sargeant. I'm writing a book on F. Scott Fitzgerald & The Great Gatsby called Odyssey of an American Dreamer. I think they call it narrative non-fiction these days. Join me in celebrating 100 years of Gatsby! www.monocledmutineer.co.uk
Captain Martin was married to Britain's first aviatrix, Lily Irvine. Nice news item from 1913. Hope to have a piece on Lily soon. She was quite a legend.

It's a throwaway line from Zelda. Calverton was a bit of a Trotskyist & he and the young Mizener regarded themselves as 'American revolutionists'. It was likely Calverton's influence that set the ball in motion for Gatsby being read as a straight allegory of the failure of the American Dream.
