Evelyn Waugh wrote several satirical and highly entertaining novels set in the era of the Bright Young Things; strongly recommended! Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies, etc.

You're probably aware, but F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote other novels and short stories. This Side of Paradise has a Great Gatsby feel, IMHO. Those writers--Fitzgerald, Waugh, early Hemingway--are sometimes characterized as the "Lost Generation." That may put you on the scent of other similar writers... or helpful lists.
