I don't think it's fair to "The Great Gatsby" to say it's from Nick Carroway's point of view - I think it shows Daisy's point of view very well - and I also don't think it endures solely because Edmund Wilson resuscitated it after Fitzgerald died. It endures because of its timeless themes and luminous prose.

That aside, I will definitely try to get this book. It sounds good.
