Book Description
===================
Critically acclaimed novelist Michael Farris Smith pulls Nick Carraway
out of the shadows and into the spotlight in this fascinating look
into his life before Gatsby Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and
into Gatsby’s periphery, he was at the center of a very different
story-one taking place along the trenches and deep within the tunnels
of World War I. Floundering in the wake of the destruction he
witnessed firsthand, Nick delays his return home, hoping to escape the
questions he cannot answer about the horrors of war. Instead, he
embarks on a transcontinental redemptive journey that takes him from a
whirlwind Paris romance-doomed from the very beginning-to the dizzying
frenzy of New Orleans, rife with its own flavor of debauchery and
violence. An epic portrait of a truly singular era and a sweeping,
romantic story of self-discovery, this rich and imaginative novel
breathes new life into a character that many know but few have
pondered deeply. Charged with enough alcohol, heartbreak, and profound
yearning to paralyze even the heartiest of golden age scribes, Nick
reveals the man behind the narrator who has captivated readers for
decades.
