The allure of Jay Gatsby, with his opulent parties and larger-than-life persona, continues to captivate readers almost a century after F. Scott Fitzgerald introduced us to the enigmatic millionaire. In our latest episode, we delve into Chapter Six of “The Great Gatsby,” revealing the untold stories from Gatsby’s past. This chapter provides us with a glimpse into the man before the mansion, offering deeper insights into his aspirations, dreams, and the origins of his immense wealth.
