Jay Gatsby's parties fill a Long Island mansion every summer weekend, and the question of who he is and what he wants drives Fitzgerald's short, exact novel.
Narrated by Nick Carraway, a neighbour drawn into the circle, the story sets new money against old and ambition against nostalgia, following what happens when a man tries to repeat a past that has moved on without him. The prose is famously compressed, which makes the novel a common choice for classroom study as well as for readers who want a classic they can finish over a weekend.
Handy details:
• Fitzgerald's Jazz Age novel in a compact classic edition
• A first-person narrator observing the world of West Egg
• Short enough for a single weekend of reading
• A 252-page paperback sized for a bag or coat pocket
A natural pick for literature students and readers building a classics collection, published by Fingerprint! Publishing and available from Boipoka.
