In this chapter we hear Nick describe Gatsby's personal history, free of all the fluff and glamor. He has more humble beginnings than we thought as a poor North Dakota kid named James Gatz and a college dropout. Gatsby meets his mentor Dan Cody, and just as he is left unsatisfied at gaining any of Cody's wealth, he is also left unsatisfied with Daisy, as he is realizing things won't be as easy as they were five years before.

In Chapter 5, Gatsby finally gets some time with Daisy, but it's off to a rocky start, with Gatsby even literally fumbling to restore "lost" time over a mantlepiece clock. We also see that Nick wonders if Daisy could ever live up to the dream he has built up in his head over 5 years.

In chapter 4 we get a roll call of Gatsby's partygoers, we finally see the first signs that Gatsby's fortune might not be completely on the up and up, and we finally get to the "heart" of Gatsby, literally.

In Episode 1 I do a basic introduction of what the Nights Reads Podcast will be about. I also introduce the first book and first chapter of the podcast, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I wanted to get us started with a more common book of the public domain pantheon because nothing screams New Year and New Beginnings like the champagne-popping, sequin-wearing, and lavish soirees of Jay Gatsby. 

If you want to follow along with my terrible narration. The full Public Domain Copy of the Great Gatsby can be found here:
