Synopsis:
With a new introduction by Geoff Dyer

The world and his mistress are at Jay Gatsby's party. But Gatsby stands apart from the crowd, isolated by a secret longing. In between sips of champagne, his guests speculate about their mysterious host. Some say he's a bootlegger. Others swear he was a German spy during the war. They lean in and whisper, "he killed a man once." Just where is Gatsby from and what is the obsession that drives him?

This edition of The Great Gatsby is the result of a unique collaboration between Tiffany & Co. and Vintage Classics. It is based on designs in the Tiffany & Co. archives from the twenties when F. Scott Fitzgerald's talent, beauty, and notorious lifestyle made him one of the best-known writers of the Jazz Age.

Author: Fitzgerald, F.
