In October 1922 the Fitzgeralds moved to a house in Great Neck. Long Island.
Their house was a relatively modest one compared with the opulent summer homes of the seriously rich old American families - the Guggenheim, the astors, the Pulitzers - on another peninsular across the bay.
This, of course, provided Fitzgeralg with the basic topography for his novel and the distinction into a fashinable side - the Est Egg - and the unfashionable one - the West Egg.
