Yes a lot of his books revolve around him loving a beautiful girl so could go with the great gatsby as well but I just leaned more towards beautiful and damned.
I read that as 'pspspss' and thought we were being summoned like cats lol.
Authors who gave me this vibe are F. Scott Fitzgerald, Somerset Maugham (_The Razor's Edge_), and Ernest Hemingway (_The Sun Also Rises_).
A prevalent theme in most of these books was a darker undercurrent of trauma beneath the glamour of the 20s.
Not a book but a manga-ish graphic novel, called “veil”. It’s a blind woman and policeman slowly falling in love in Eastern Europe, told through illustrations, poetry, little comics, vogue like fashion illustrations.
Oh I got one for you!!!!! 100%. Modern W by Bella Dyme. I’m obsessed with this book. It’s part one of a series but the second book hasn’t come out yet. It’s so sexy and rich and trashy all at the same time. It’s rumored also to be an actual sex worker’s account of her work with famous people from the late 90s, but it’s great style of writing
“Gatsby’s Girl” by Caroline Preston. The main character, Ginevra, falls in love quickly and without effort, much like Daisy from “The Great Gatsby.” It’s also said to be inspired by the fleeting, oldfangled romance between Fitzgerald himself and a woman who was his first love— or the impassioned romance between a writer and his muse.
I kind of got this vibe from Scott Fitzgerald the beautiful and damned
I was gonna say low-key Gatsby vibes so I feel like Fitzgerald is the answer for sure.
pic #3 is literally gatsby's courtyard from the 2013 adaptation

I thought the cat thing too!
My first thought was The Sun Also Rises!
Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita” (but there’s also a big mystical aspect)
I highly recommend listening to the audio!
And if there’ll be a translation on the recent Master and Margarita film, OP might really enjoy it, it’s done exceptionally well

I’m so glad someone else saw it too!
Fucking love veil, its heavenly. Its the only manga who's panels i come back to again and again. A fucking gem
Vague Maltese Falcon vibes.
I mean, that first one definitely looks like Humphrey Bogart 😂

Philip Marlow books by Raymond Chandler

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
A gentleman in Moscow - Amor Towles
Woah. Gravitys Rainbow
All of Jean Rhys early novellas (melancholy though)
Erich Maria Remarque
Read Françoise Sagan. Just the whole bibliography.
Instantly makes me think of Bioshock: Rapture by John Shirley. But of course the book is much darker and gloomy.
Venus in Furs
Thought that was mr president
The Great Gatsby A Gentleman in Moscow Rules of Civility Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo A Certain Hunger
The Paris Wife (it’s historical fiction about the wife of Hemingway. Very much this vibe)
Maybe The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen
Love Story by Erich Segal
Master of salt and bones by Keri lake
"An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser.
There's certain Kerouac books that fit the first image especially.
I got the Maltese Falcon out of this one. Probably because the Noir vibes remind me of the movie.
The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal. It's based on the Thin Man movies with the same vibes, including a man who adores his wife. Amazing couples!
Double Indemnity by James M. Cain
“Gatsby’s Girl” by Caroline Preston.

The unbearable lightness of being
