The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald • 1925

Our Take
The green light was always out of reach and Fitzgerald knew it before Gatsby did. A love story about a lie told so completely it became a life. The American dream as tragedy — boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. The ending hits differently every decade you read it.
