NOTES
Read by Naudus, Natalie
Nghi Vo's debut novel The Chosen and the Beautiful reinvents a classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice. "Gatsby the way it should have been written-dark, dazzling, fantastical."-R. F. Kuang "Luxurious, thrilling, and sexy."-Adrienne Celt Immigrant. Socialite. Magician. Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society-she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She's also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her. But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how. A Macmillan Audio production from Tordotcom
