The Great Gatsby: The Only Authorized Edition

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald’s family and from his lifelong publisher. This edition is the enduring original text, updated with the author’s own revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and with a new introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

It doesn't really take that long to read this book, but I was, and still am, participating in a readalong, and I had to finish this book! This was my first time reading this book, and it won't be my last time. I admit that I had preconceived ideas about this book and thought I knew what it was about, but I was mistaken. It surpassed my expectations and has left me wanting to read more of F. Scott. He certainly has a wonderful way with words.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. There are no words to review this novel. There are only two kinds of people in the world - those that love The Great Gatsby, and those who are so far beneath intelligence I can't spend time writing about them. It is the absolute of the decline of the American dream.  and  - just sayin'
