Scott and Zelda rented a house here among the new-money crowd of Great Neck, watched the older fortunes across the water on Sands Point, and he turned the two shores into West Egg and East Egg. He was writing the book two years before it came out, broke, at the edge of a wealth he was describing and could not join.
