This is the definitive, textually accurate edition. The first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule; Narrator Nick Carraway has recently moved to New York to work as a bond salesman; he meets his mysterious neighbor, the extravagantly wealthy Jay Gatsby. As Nick befriends Gatsby and learns of the lost love that motivates his behaviour, the novel explores the Roaring 20s, and that decade's cynical evocation of The American Dream UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/simon051/95014848.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0645/95014848-s.html ER -
