The Great Gatsby CDby F. Scott Fitzgerald
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's portrait of the Jazz Age in all its decadence and excess, is, as editor Maxwell Perkins praised it in 1924, "a wonder." It remains one of the most widely read, translated, admired, imitated and studied twentieth-century works of American fiction. This deceptively simple work, Fitzgerald's best known, was hailed by critics as capturing the spirit of the generation. In Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald embodies some of America's strongest obsessions: wealth, power, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. The recording includes a selection of letters written by Fitzgerald to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, his agent, Harold Ober, and friends and associates, including Willa Cather, H.L. Mencken, John Peale Bishop and Gertrude Stein. Performed by Tim Robbins About the AuthorF. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) published This Side of Paradisein 1920 and that same year married Zelda Sayre. Fitzgerald was one of the major literary voices in the twentieth century, the writer of such masterpieces as The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned,and Tender Is the Night.
