Citi of Books proudly brought the books of our remarkable authors to the heart of the 39th Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL), turning our space into a lively corner where stories, ideas, and creativity met.
Being part of FIL from November 29 to December 7, in Expo Guadalajara, Av. Mariano Otero 1599, Col. Verde Valle, Guadalajara, Jalisco, meant more than simply displaying books—it meant becoming part of a larger cultural heartbeat. Our gallery served as a bridge between authors and curious readers, offering a close-up look at stories that deserve the spotlight. From powerful biographies to practical guides, and from imaginative fiction to soul-stirring reflections, our curated collection drew in visitors who left with new favorites in hand. And with the vibrant spirit of FIL all around us, every conversation, recommendation, and smile felt like a reminder of why we love sharing books with the world.
With FIL’s electric atmosphere—filled with authors, readers, and cultures from around the globe—our gallery became a warm stop for visitors eager to discover fresh voices and inspiring works. Among the standout titles we showcased was “Just Call Me Gatsby” by Gary Goldstick.
Gary Goldstick brings decades of real-world business experience to his fiction. With a BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, an MS in Computer Engineering from UCLA and an MBA from Pepperdine University, he spent 35 years as a certified management consultant overseeing the turnaround and sale of over 300 companies. He has also authored non-fiction business titles such as Business Rx: How to Get in the Black and Stay There and Romancing the Business Loan. Goldstick resides in Little Rock, Arkansas with his labradoodle Sadie.
In this gripping financial-thriller novel, acclaimed author Gary Goldstick takes readers deep into the glamorous yet dangerous world of wealth, illusion, and corporate deception. The story follows Christopher “Gatsby” Brooks—a man with status, charm and an outwardly enviable fortune. But underneath the veneer lies a web of unregistered securities, concealed empires and a labyrinth of lies. The new novel explores how quickly the illusion of success can crumble when truth catches up.
This novel stands out for its electrifying blend of business acumen and thriller pacing. It’s not just a crime story—it’s a cultural mirror reflecting our society’s obsession with status, image and financial success. Readers who enjoy stories that delve into the world of high-finance, corporate corruption and psychological suspense will find “Just Call Me Gatsby” especially thrilling. The layers of deception, the stakes of legacy and the compelling characters make for a page-turner that resonates beyond the boardroom.
“Just Call Me Gatsby” is more than a financial thriller—it’s a sophisticated exploration of ambition, risk and identity. Gary Goldstick’s deep business background gives the plot authenticity, while the narrative keeps the pace thrilling. If you’re drawn to novels where greed meets consequence, image meets integrity and high finance meets human fragility, this book is a strong choice.
