Now readers can experience F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece in an edition that brings us closest to his original vision for the work. Drawn from the authoritative Library of America edition of Fitzgerald's collected writings, this deluxe paperback presents a new, corrected text of The Great Gatsby by preeminent Fitzgerald scholar James L. W. West III, incorporating emendations the author made on galley proofs and in his personal copy of the book. Fitzgerald's masterpiece is joined here by four contemporary stories-the "Gatsby cluster"-in which he explores variations on the theme of desperate longing for an unattainable someone or something. Essential reading for fans of the novel, these, too, are presented in newly corrected texts.
