HOW WAS THE AUTHOR TREATED AFTER THE GREAT

GATSBY •The book never got recognized until 15 years after it was published.

•Fitzgerald was treated poorly after his books. People said that he never loved up to his word, and his books were never good. Fitzgerald was told that his books wont get published and it was a very hard time for him.
