What happened to Nick Carraway after Gatsby? Saint Nick imagines the years that shaped one of American literature's most iconic voices.

In the fall of 1922, Nick Carraway returns home to Saint Paul, Minnesota a changed man. Disillusioned by his time in the East and haunted by the death of Jay Gatsby, Nick struggles to find his place in the sober Middle Western world he thought he had left behind. Drawn reluctantly into the family hardware business and a rekindled romance with his hometown sweetheart, Anne, Nick finds himself adrift, his life seemingly mapped out for him.

Turning to writing as an outlet for his private frustrations, Nick discovers both his voice and unexpected monetary success. But when the return trip to New York reopens old wounds and his suppressed feelings for the elusive Jordan Baker resurface, Nick is faced with a difficult choice: to conform to a safe, predetermined life with Anne or pursue a more uncertain but authentic path, one that may not include Jordan Baker after a deeply held secret of his own comes to light.

Set in the shadow of The Great Gatsby, Saint Nick imagines the years that shaped its narrator, offering a richly evocative and emotionally resonant companion to one of American literature's most enduring classics.
