Trimalchio (novel)

Trimalchio (novel)

"Trimalchio: An Early Version of "The Great Gatsby" is a published complete early draft of "The Great Gatsby", by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The original title of "The Great Gatsby" was "Trimalchio in West Egg." "The Great Gatsby" contains a reference to Trimalchio in the introduction to Chapter 7:

"It was when curiosity about Gatsby was at its highest that the lights in his house failed to go on one Saturday night--and, as obscurely as it had begun, his career as Trimalchio was over."

A notable difference between "Trimalchio" and "The Great Gatsby" is a less complete failure of Gatsby's dream in "Trimalchio". In "Trimalchio", the argument between Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby is much more even, although Tom still wins in that Daisy returns to him.
