THE EDITOR’S TAKE
The party is magnificent. The longing is harder to entertain.
Why “The Great Gatsby”?
- Fitzgerald sets dazzling surfaces against a deeply imagined past.
- Nick Carraway's view of Gatsby turns aspiration into a question about what a life can recover.
A question to savor
What is Gatsby trying to recover: Daisy herself, a lost moment, or a version of himself?
