The story so far
Everything you need before watchingNick has finally walked into the palace next door, looking for a host nobody claims to have met. Guests swap rumors: German spy, Kaiser's assassin, a man who once killed someone, richer than God. Jordan Baker glides through the crush, insisting large parties are the only intimate ones. Then a polite stranger asks if Nick is having a good time—and, almost as an afterthought, admits he is Gatsby.
