$10.00
The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway’s interactions with Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire with an obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.
Fitzgerald conveys the hedonism of Jazz Age society by following a down-to-earth narrator as a spectator of one of the most raucous and prejudiced era in American history.
Several reviewers felt the novel left much to be desired following Fitzgerald’s previous works and criticized him accordingly, but The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews from literary critics of the day.
During World War II, the novel experienced an abrupt surge in popularity when the Council on Books in Wartime distributed free copies to American soldiers serving overseas.
