First broadcast: Sun 6th May 2012, 15:00 on BBC Radio 4 FM

F. Scott Fitzgerald's seminal novel, a portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, is perhaps the greatest book on the fallibility of the American dream.
Nick Carraway arrives in Long Island and is reacquainted with his distant cousin, Daisy Buchanan. He falls in with her wealthy crowd. His neighbor, the self-made and self-invented millionaire, Gatsby, is the man who has everything - but one thing will always be out of his reach.
Nick has fallen in with the wealthy crowd on Long Island. His neighbor, Gatsby, asks Nick to engineer a meeting with his lost love, Nick's cousin, Daisy.
