Gatsby: My Story

Near the close of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel 'The Great Gatsby' the narrator, Carraway, believes Gatsby to be dead, but the death and funeral have been faked and Gatsby has escaped to Havana. There he builds a new career and some years later sets out to put the record straight and counter Carraway's misinterpretation of events and people. In the course of his story he expands on his early life, his experience in the War, his time at Oxford, his hoodlum years and his relationships with Arnold Rothstein, Jordan Baker, and Daisy. He provides a dramatic new perspective on the events of the summer of 1922 and reveals a complex and engaging character.
