The Chosen and the Beautiful Book Review

“The Chosen and the Beautiful” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. 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. Nghi Vo’s debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful, reinvents this 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.

Brief Summary The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo

F. Scott Fitzgerald whomst!!! Nghi Vo owns this story now. The Chosen and the Beautiful is a masterpiece of a retelling/reworking. Slinky and sensual, surprising and sharp, Jordan Baker (a character who, in the original falls into the background) takes hold of the narrative and challenges Gatsby, Daisy, Nick, and Tom in turn while expanding the experience of New York in the 20s. The aspect of this novel I was most concerned about—the addition of magic—turned out to be marvelous. The magic spins its own dreamy, heady quality over this book without taking away the characters agency or affecting the central plot in any distasteful way. It’s a subtle thing, but delightful.
