"Almost teaching credentialed graduate student Mackinnon Flores sets off on a vintage train from Narrow Interior Massachusetts to Merveilleux City, Quebec to attend a pipe band convention. Barely underway, he feels obliged to help an aggravating, but intriguing young woman named Allison, who may or may not be a goth, and who may or may not be able to turn into an octopus. Allison claims she has lost her travelling companion, an elderly gentleman named Gabriel whom she met on the platform. No one else on the train remembers seeing him. As they search the compartments for this possibly imaginary acquaintance, Mack and Allison find themselves careening towards a confrontation that seems at once artificial, familiar, and dangerous."--Provided by publisher.
Under the Red, White, and Blue was F. Scott Fitzgerald's final title for the novel we all know as, The Great Gatsby. This particular edition aims to achieve Fitzgerald's last known wishes for the novel, if such a thing exists. This book contains the entire novel. The emendations in this edition are mostly inconsequential to the overall scope of the novel. The updates include minor corrections (e.g., "irises" instead of "retinas" in descrbing the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg) and style choices closer to Fitzgerald's holograph draft (e.g., "living room" instead of "living-room").The Introduction discusses Fitzgerald's struggle with the title as well as the influence of the original cover art and its artist, Francis Cugat.
