Other authors of literary fiction have been influenced by The Great Gatsby, for example Ernesto Quinonez, whose novel Bodega Dreams is an adaptation set in Spanish Harlem. Quinonez's Willie Bodega is newly rich from the fruits of the drug trade, but generous with his assistance in exchange for loyalty. Chico, the narrator, provides social commentary on Bodega's actions, with the eventual fall of the anti-hero. Chris Bohjalian's Double Blind contains characters from The Great Gatsby as though they had actually lived, engaging Tom and Daisy Buchanan, Jay Gatsby, even the Wilsons in events in modern life.
