The Great Gatsby was not an immediate success after it was published. Why didn't the critics immediately celebrate the novel?

Question options:

The book was - and still is - a harsh critique of American materialism.

The book was not considered a "Modernist" novel.

The book was too experimental for prominent book critics of the time.

Fitzgerald wrote some of the novel while living in France, so critics did not think the story was "American enough."
