Fitzgerald’s great little novel of glamour, longing, class performance and romantic self-delusion follows Nick Carraway into the orbit of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire whose lavish parties are really just elaborate distress signals thrown across the water toward Daisy Buchanan. It is a book about money pretending to be love, love pretending to be destiny, and destiny turning out to be paperwork, inheritance, timing, and bad driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"1099\"\u003eNot a sprawling American epic, but a polished object with a corpse inside it. This edition has extra appeal as a vintage Penguin\/movie-cover copy: not rare-rare, but much nicer than a dead modern school-text paperback, and with the specific soft glamour of the 1970s adaptation attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePenguin paperback.
