Notes
- From the series record (The Chosen and the Beautiful (novel)): Single continuous novel, registered per the single-work-by-LOTR-analogy convention -- a queer, Vietnamese-American-narrated fantastical retelling of The Great Gatsby (Jordan Baker as narrator), with magic (demonic bargains, paper magic, blood magic) woven into 1920s New York. No sequel or further work set in this world.
