WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY GEOFF DYER The world and his mistress are at Jay Gatsbys party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say hes a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They lean in and whisper he killed a man once. Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?

Scott Fitzgeralds talent, beauty and notorious lifestyle made him one of best known writers of the Jazz Age.
