Branchkin - Yes Great Gatsby was the novel written by F Scott Fitzgerald who was living in that house in Great Neck at that time. I knew that because when I read the Great Gatsby for my high school English class our teacher told us that West Egg where Gatsby lived was Kings Point, Great Neck and East Egg, where Daisy Buchanan was Sands Point, Port Washington.
This is an old map of Great Neck that shows it is shaped like an egg.
