The Great Gatsby Nick Carraway, who was once Gatsby's neighbor, tells the story of Gatsby sometime after 1922, when the incidents that fill the book take place.
Nick moves from the Midwest to West Egg, Long Island, seeking his fortune as a bond salesman. He travels across the Sound to the more fashionable East Egg to visit his cousin Daisy Buchanan and her husband, Tom, a privileged and imposing man.
The Buchanans live a luxurious lifestyle. When Nick returns home one evening, he notices his neighbor, Gatsby, mysteriously standing in the dark and stretching his arms toward the water, and a solitary green light across the Sound.
