Scott Fitzgerald's <em>The Great Gatsby</em> ends after Jay Gatsby is shot and killed for a hit and run that he did not commit, as well as for his attempts to recapture the past. However, while the bullet's aim is still true, <em>The Pursued and the Pursuing</em> explores what might have been had it left Gatsby with another chance at happiness. Find it he does, although not in the arms of Daisy Buchanan.
