When Nick Carraway moves to West Egg, Long Island, he has no idea that the lavishly outfitted mansion next to his modest house is home to Jay Gatsby. Eventually, Nick becomes aware of Gatsbyrss intense interest in his cousin Daisy Buchanan, and when Daisyrss brutish husband Tom probes Gatsbyrss background, he uncovers unsavory revelations about his rivalrss wealth. First published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgeraldrss third novel offers a definitive portrait of the opulence and recklessness of the Jazz Age.
