About this listen

Includes an introduction written and read by Jesmyn Ward, a foreword written and read by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan, and an afterword written and read by Professor James L. W. West III

The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald’s family and from his lifelong publisher.

An all-new recording published for the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby, this production presents the enduring original text, updated with the author’s own revisions, a foreword by his granddaughter, and with an introduction by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward.

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

What a bunch of vapid jerks!

Sorry, I realize it's a classic but at this point in time, in the twilight of my life, it shows a certain je ne c'est quoi of selfish rich people who never had to learn empathy nor develop any humanity. Very timely in that we are facing the same insult now in 2025 with those very same callow, bigoted people who live only for their own pleasure.

I didn't like it. It mirrors the persistent striving of people to rub elbows with the richest, hoping, coveting that some of their glitter will be shared, it never is. It never makes you happy.

Have integrity and be happy where you are.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
