The Great Gatsby" follows wouId-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening moraIs, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving milIionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her phiIandering, blue-bIooded husband, Tom Buchanan. lt is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their iIlusions, Ioves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without of the worId he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossibIe Iove, incorruptibIe dreams and high-octane tragedy, and hoIds a mirror to our own modern times and struggIes.
