But at his mansion east of New York City, in West Egg, Long Island, where the party never seems to end, he's often alone in the glittering Jazz Age crowd, watching and waiting, as speculation swirls around him--that he's a bootlegger, that he was a German spy during the war, that he even killed a man. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, he begins to see beneath the shimmering surface of the enigmatic Gatsby, for whom one thing will always be out of reach: Nick's cousin, the married Daisy Buchanan, whose house is visible from Gatsby's just across the bay. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA brilliant evocation of the Roaring Twenties and a satire of a postwar America obsessed with wealth and status, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e is a novel whose power remains undiminished after a century. This edition, based on scholarship dating back to the novel's first publication in 1925, restores Fitzgerald's masterpiece to the original American classic he envisioned, and features an introduction addressing how gender, race, class, and sexuality complicate the pursuit of the American Dream and suggestions of a wide variety of multimedia resources for exploring the novel's themes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eF. Scott Fitzgerald\u003c\/b\u003e (1896-1940) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University, which he left in 1917 to join the army. He is said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre; their traumatic marriage and her subsequent breakdowns became the leading influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, \u003ci\u003eThis Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tycoon\u003c\/i\u003e; six volumes of short stories; and \u003ci\u003eThe Crack-Up, \u003c\/i\u003e a selection of autobiographical pieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMin Jin Lee\u003c\/b\u003e (introduction) is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling novel \u003ci\u003ePachinko\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and one of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e's Ten Best Books of 2017, and of the nationally bestselling novel \u003ci\u003eFree Food for Millionaires.\u003c\/i\u003e A writer in residence at Amherst College and the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, she lives in New York. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip McGowan\u003c\/b\u003e (editor, notes) is an executive board member of the F.
