Nick Carraway Shirt, Funny 1920s Classic Novel Tee, English Teacher Gift for Book Lovers and Book Clubs

A funny classic novel gift for English teachers and book clubs: the chibi storybook-watercolor Nick Carraway, in white flannels and hugging a stack of banking books, says "Just here to sell bonds. Somehow I'm narrating."

A funny, cute Nick Carraway gift for an English or literature teacher, a book club, a librarian, a student reading the classics or anyone who always ends up telling the story.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
In the classic 1925 Jazz Age novel he narrates, Nick Carraway moves to Long Island in 1922 to learn the bond business, and buys a dozen red-and-gold volumes on banking and credit. He rents a small house in West Egg, right next to a huge mansion whose mysterious owner throws enormous parties, and he ends up telling the whole story.
