Oops! Thanks. Fitzgerald indeed - Scott Fitzgerald! Made a profound impression on me as one of the first books I was able to comprehend in English, having fled the war in Angola (at age 13 in 1975, as a Portuguese-speaking white African). Also the first time I heard of the 'concept' of "American dream".
