Partying with the Great Gatsby

by Bruce Chadwick
published 2023-10-27

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written by an American (all right, Herman Melville's Moby Dick a close second). It is the story of an incredibly wealthy World War I war hero who has not seen his girlfriend in five years and tries desperately to get her back. He buys a Rolls Royce car, builds a multi-million-dollar mansion and throws the wildest parties the 1920s had ever seen. The problem is that in those long, long five years she married and had a child. So where does our rich war hero, Jay Gatsby, go?
