Nghi Vo's stunning debut The Chosen and the Beautiful is a magical, queer reimagining of The Great Gatsby that gives the story a wonderfully modern punch. Jordan Baker is a wealthy socialite living it up in the Jazz Age, but she's also a Vietnamese adoptee, who never fully fits into the glittery world of her peers. But in truth, Jordan is just beginning to understand and harness the full extent of her power — literally and metaphorically — and when she shows high society the real her, she's sure to create a stir.
