A surprising examination of the original book jacket art to The Great Gatsby.

Of the many new writers that sprang into notice with the advent of the post-war period, Scott Fitzgerald has remained the steadiest performer and the most entertaining.

Offers a review of Gatsby and its earlier version, Trimalchio.

The earliest surviving manuscript draft of The Great Gatsby rests in a high-security, climate-controlled vault in Princeton, New Jersey. It is in the Manuscripts Division of the Princeton University Library, but can be viewed online here, along with the Gatsby typescript, and heavily reworked galleys. This manuscript is not the first draft of the novel.
