"The Chosen and the Beautiful" by Nghi Vo is a captivating reinterpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic Jazz Age novel. The story follows Jordan Baker, a queer Asian American protagonist, who grows up in the glamorous and often superficial circles of the 1920s. With a sharp mind and a talent for magic, Jordan navigates the challenges of her identity and the expectations of society. The narrative is not only a tribute to the original story but also offers a fresh perspective on themes such as race, sexuality, and the quest for belonging. Vo's writing style is both lush and engaging, drawing readers in from the very first page. This reinterpretation is not just a literary work but also a cultural statement that celebrates the diversity and complexity of the human experience.
