The Books Oracle

In These Gilded Ghostly Hearts

by Gwendolyn Kiste

In this queer retelling of The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan's daughter Mel returns to confront the ghostly mysteries surrounding her mother's 1955 death in West Egg. Kiste transforms Fitzgerald's classic into a haunted meditation on obsession, control, and the spectral weight of American dreams. A feminist gothic reclamation of Jazz Age mythology.
