The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story is of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his new love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature.
I didn't love this book as much as when I first read it for uni at 18. Which is crazy because back then I didn't even clock that Nick was gay... Some things just don't hold up when you're not a teenager anymore. Can't repeat the past and all that.
This is a good classic to read if you'd like to have read a classic. It's about a few good people with tragic flaws, among their friends.
