Do you see any other biographical links between Fitzgerald and his book The Great Gatsby?

It didn't. It was his relationship with Ginevra King that formed the basis for the Gatsby-Daisy relationship. Like Daisy, Ginevra rejected the young Fitzgerald because he was apparently too poor. The man she married (William Mitchell) was the basis of Tom Buchanan, and her real-life friend Edith Cummings (who was also a golfer) was the basis of Jordan.
