The word vogue has appeared in 99 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on March 27 in “It’s Gatsby’s World, We Just Live in It” by A.O. Scott. The article states that upon its publication, “The Great Gatsby” was neither a critical nor commercial success:
Reviewers shrugged. Sales were sluggish. The novel and its author slid toward obscurity. The ’20s ended with the stock market crash, and tales of wealth and abandon didn’t age well in the Depression. Prohibition was repealed, and Fitzgerald’s style and subject matter fell out of vogue. For a while, nobody wanted to hear about Gatsby or his era.
