Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understand him and among various onlookers, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but seems always to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. But as the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed ...

F Scott Fitzgerald was born in Minnesota in 1896. He was said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself denied emphatically. In the 1920s he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic marriage and subsequent breakdowns became the leading influencein his writing, which included TENDER IS THE NIGHT, and THE LAST TYCOON (his last, unfinished work), plus six volumes of short stories. He died suddenly in 1940.
