    Summary

    Who was Gatsby? Who was he to me when the body was found in the pool? I remember his endless motion, his undiluted extravagance, and most acutely, his enchanting smile. He had the whole world when he reached out to it, yet he allowed himself to live in a bubble from where he could safely desire that which was out of his reach. He was human, and somehow more, and somehow less.

     

    Following the events of The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway returns West, only to find himself borne back into chaos as odd, mysterious phone calls and letters, all claimed to be from the late Jay Gatsby, repeatedly arrive at his house.
