The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Nick Carraway narrates his neighbor Jay Gatsby's obsessive pursuit of the American Dream and the green light across the bay where Daisy Buchanan lives. Fitzgerald's Jazz Age masterpiece was challenged at the Baptist College in Charleston, South Carolina in 1987 for its language and its portrayal of the moral corruption underlying the American Dream.
