Almost as much what is left unsaid by Andrew Fitch |
| Almost as much what is left unsaid conveys, as the hallmark of a great classic, the empty lives of the young 1920s rich of America. Yes, even Gatsby has some redeeming features, but the tragedy is none of his set love anyone more than themselves. |

| Summary: |
Jay Gatsby had once loved beautiful, spoiled Daisy Buchanan, then lost her to a rich boy. Now, mysteriously wealthy, he is ready to risk everything to woo her back. This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule. |
