Inhaltsangabe

Generally considered to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's finest novel, The Great Gatsby is a consummate summary of the "roaring twenties", and a devastating expose of the "Jazz Age". Through the narration of Nick Carraway, the reader is taken into the superficially glittering world of the mansions which lined the Long Island shore in the 1920s, to encounter Nick's cousin Daisy, her brash but wealthy husband Tom Buchanan, Jay Gatsby and the mystery that surrounds him.

Críticas

Three weeks before it was published in 1925, the book that is often referred to as the Great American Novel had an alternative title, Trimalchio in West Egg. Fortunately Fitzgerald's publisher thought The Great Gatsby was better. Whether it would have made any difference to its success, who knows? I've deliberately eschewed listening to it, preferring to remember reading it myself, but William Hope's glorious interpretation is too good to miss. --Sue Arnold, The Guardian
