Staff Reviews

I was excited when we read this novel in class. It really gave me a broadened perspective on my future, and what lies ahead. With a lot of hidden symbolism on what it meant to live "The American Dream", or to live in poverty ("The Valley of Ashes"). This novel is one of my absolute favorites.

— Veronica F.

Description

The Great Gatsby, set in the town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922, concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. The novel explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.
