F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby follows Jay Gatsby through the observations of Nick Carraway, bringing wealth, longing, and carefully maintained appearances into a tightly shaped novel. Gatsby's hopes center on Daisy Buchanan, but the story also asks what happens when a desired future depends on recovering an imagined past. This collection centers on Fitzgerald's novel of social ambition and disappointment. Readers can attend to the distance between public spectacle and private uncertainty, and to the way Nick's voice influences how the characters' choices and claims are understood.
