Audie Award winner Grover Gardner (The Story of Civilization), whose pseudonyms include Alexander Adams and Tom Parker, here gives a beautifully modulated reading of Fitzgerald's 1921 short story collection, whose title piece was adapted into an Academy Award-nominated movie starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Fitzgerald is one of a small group of great 20th-century writers whose work is even better when read aloud. The companion PDF ebook is clear and well marked; highly recommended for all libraries. [Audio clip available through www.tantor.com; an alternate recording from Blackstone Audio, with Scott Brick reading, was recommended as "essential for libraries of any size," LJ11/1/07.-Ed.]
