“Gatsby?” asked Daisy urgently.
“What Gatsby?”
Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago –
and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society
enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across
the bay from Daisy – now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan?
As one man’s mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion,
Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby’s past and
present – a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which
perfectly illustrates the “careless and confused” nature of America’s Jazz Age.
