Characters are inventions -- but some of them don't seem to know that. A hundred years after Fitzgerald gave him life, Gatsby refuses to remain bound by literature, ascending instead to towering myth: the dreamer who fabricates himself from nothing; the lover consumed by illusion; a figure who embodies, equally, the shimmer of modernity and its rot. Through Nick's gaze and Gatsby's hallucinatory trance, Fitzgerald distils the intoxication of the Jazz Age into a dazzling mirror of longing -- America's glittering promise and its hollow core. This Qomix Classic graphic edition takes that myth and catapults it into the future. Kinetic silences permeate champagne nights; the extravagant meets the angular; art deco collides with modernism -- refracting Fitzgerald's own artistry -- to create a phantasmagoric trip as much of its time as ours.
