Ever since the suspense and horror writer Chet Williamson read The Great Gatsby in his youth, it has been his favorite novel. Indeed, he considers it The Great American Novel, and, in this new collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald's work, he presents the original first edition text along with six hilarious stories that show the lighter side of the writer's work, and reveal why Fitzgerald was one of the most popular authors of the Roaring Twenties, and remains so today.

This is the Gatsby you want!
Revisado: 01-12-22
“Why another Gatsby?” Chet Williamson asks in his introduction, noting that ebooks and audiobooks of Gatsby are now as plentiful as the wine bottles that littered Gatsby’s lawn the day after one of his lavish parties. Williamson briefly outlines his many experiences with film & theater adaptations of Fitzgerald’s most popular work. Perhaps it is these experiences—coupled with Williamson’s long appreciation of the novel—that make this reading of Gatsby feel fresh and surprising again.
An excellent narration requires a delicate balance between infusing the text with meaning and character and also—almost paradoxically—getting out of the listener’s way. Williamson manages this superbly.
You also don’t want to miss the short stories in this edition. They are wildly entertaining and are worth the purchase alone!
