Nicolina Gatsby

Publisher's Note: Not a single word of this work was created using artificial intelligence.____________________________________________________________________In this explicit reincarnation of the great American novel, Nicolina, the aspiring neighbor of the mighty Jay Gatsby, ventures to unravel the mysteries of the modern-day tycoon amid his extravagant parties on Long Island Sound.What she discovers goes far beyond any simple understanding of the man, of his hidden loves, and even of her own moral boundaries. She wants to despise Gatsby, but the feelings he incites hurl her into a tangled obsession that she cannot escape. At every turn, dominating forces urge her to submit as she strives to strike out on her own as a strong and independent woman in the fierce financial capital of the world.In this inquisitive and irreverent exploration of the particular lives of the obscenely rich, and those who strive and struggle in their wake, nobody and nothing is as it seems. The iconic saga of American success is torn wide open to reveal the sensual indiscretions and the taboo ideologies at the heart of a polarized society teetering on the edge of madness.Through it all, Nicolina is driven to lay bare the full breadth of the national dream, and to discover her place in it, no matter what it costs her in the end.____________________________________________________________________Genres: Literary Fiction, Contemporary Erotica, Metafiction, Philosophy, Ethnic Memoirs.
