Today, we will discuss the famous book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This story takes us to the 1920s, a time of jazz music, big parties, and fancy clothes in the United States. The Great Gatsby is about a rich and mysterious man named Jay Gatsby. He lives in a huge house and has big parties every weekend, but not many people know much about him. Nick Carraway, Gatsby's neighbor, who has just moved to the area, tells the story. Get the transcript on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/321-the-great-gatsby-for-beginners/

Rob and Scott return to their dialog about modernism, inflation, and F. Scott Fitzgerald's celebrated 1925 novel The Great Gatsby (click here for Part 1). During their conversation, our co-hosts forge connections between the novel's many complications of time and space and the attitudes to money and identity explored in the first part of this mini-series. For instance, they consider The Great Gatsby's unusual manner of imagining the spatial dis/connectedness of West Egg, the ‘Valley of Ashes' and New York City; the strange ways in which characters seem to be passively ‘borne' between these locations; the ambiguous role that bonds of various kinds play in the text; and Nick Carraway's blurry impressionist method of narrating (or accounting for) the events of the story. Along the way, Rob and Scott revisit one of the text's most enduring symbols, the elusive figure of the green light, which burns bright from the end of Tom and Daisy Buchanan's dock on Long Island Sound. Associated both with U.S. money and the marvel of electricity, the novel's green light points to the powers of public provisioning that conduct modern life and serves as a mysterious beacon of hope in which, we're told, Gatsby continues to believe until the end. For Rob and Scott, this green light reveals the novel's “political unconscious,” here understood as the process by which a repressed history of public provisioning nevertheless comes to contour the modern novel's many formal and affective constructions. Finally, our co-hosts point to the U.S. government's mass printing of copies of The Great Gatsby for its G.I.s during WW2, an act of public provisioning that proved foundational for the subsequent widespread popularity of Fitzgerald's book and its canonization of as a classic of American literary modernism.

Chapter 1:Summary of Book The Great Gatsby"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel set in the summer of 1922 on Long Island and in New York City. The story is narrated by Nick Carraway, a young bond salesman from Minnesota who rents a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, an area populated by the newly rich who lack social connections and sophistication.Nick's neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and wealthy man who throws extravagant parties every weekend, hoping to attract specific guests. As Nick becomes more acquainted with Gatsby, he learns that Gatsby was born poor and that his real name is James Gatz. Gatsby had previously been in love with Daisy Buchanan, Nick's cousin, when he was a young military officer. Post-war, Gatsby dedicated himself to gaining wealth and social standing to win Daisy back, believing that he could recreate the past through sheer force of will and wealth.Through his connection to Nick, Gatsby rekindles his romance with Daisy, although she is now married to Tom Buchanan, a man of established wealth and social standing, but also arrogant and unfaithful. The reunion leads to an affair between Gatsby and Daisy, which climaxes in a confrontation between Tom and Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza Hotel.The situation becomes tragic when Daisy, driving Gatsby's car, accidentally strikes and kills Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, on their way back from the city. Gatsby decides to take the blame, believing his wealth can shelter him. However, Myrtle's husband, George Wilson, misled by Tom to believe that Gatsby was both his wife's lover and killer, shoots Gatsby dead in his pool before taking his own life.In the wake of the tragedy, Nick is disillusioned with the East Coast's morally corrupt and superficial society. He arranges a poorly-attended funeral for Gatsby, breaks off his relationship with Jordan Baker, a professional golfer and mutual friend, and moves back to the Midwest. The novel concludes with Nick reflecting on the unattainable nature of the American Dream, and how people are relentlessly drawn into a past that is forever out of reach, much like Gatsby with his indomitable hopes and dreams.Chapter 2:The Theme of Book The Great GatsbyCertainly!

In this episode, we embark on a captivating exploration of F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless classic, The Great Gatsby. We analyze the novel's prophetic qualities, its commentary on the cyclical nature of history, and its profound insights into the human psyche. Through the lens of Jungian psychology, we examine the anima and animus archetypes embodied by Fitzgerald and his contemporary, Ernest Hemingway, and how their works reflect the eternal struggle between the intuitive and the assertive. We also discuss how The Great Gatsby serves as a powerful warning about the pitfalls of the American Dream and the dangers of becoming trapped in the past. Join us for this illuminating discussion on one of the most influential novels of the 20th century. #TheGreatGatsby #FScottFitzgerald #LiteraryAnalysis #JungianArchetypes #AnimaAnimus #AmericanDream #Modernism #Literature #History #Psychology #Podcast #iTunes #Spotify #Stitcher #GooglePodcasts #Subscribe   The Expansive Decadent Ego of the Animus and the Introspective Bust and Decline of the Anima as Parts of Empire Cultures wax and wane. Empires that seem like part of the cosmos itself fall like gunshot victims into a pool or lines on a bar chart. It is the rare work that can speak to both the sparkle of spectacle and the timeless inevitable real it distracts us from. The Great Gatsby was an immediate success and then forgotten and then rediscovered. It was forgotten because the Jazz age was a, beautiful maybe, but still nearsighted dalliance. Fitzgerald was lumped in with all of the other out of date out of style gaucheness the book was mistaken as a celebration of. It was rediscovered because critics realized the book was like one of those sweetly scented break up notes that is written so beautifully that the dumped sod misreads it as a love letter and puts it with the other love notes unawares. The Great Gatsby was a warning; and you can only hear the warning after the fall. Perhaps half love letter and half kiss off, some part of Fitzgerald knew that his world was ending. The Jazz age was the parodos, or fun act of the ancient Greek tragedy where characters expound humorously against the chorus on the character faults that will undue them against the grinding unwinding of time. Ancient Greece and Rome look the same in the periphery and quite different in focus. Greeks sought to be ideal through archetype where Romans sought reality through realism. Greece, like F. Scott Fitzgerald, dealt in the realm of the anima - the passive, intuitive, and emotional aspects of the psyche. They were comfortable with beauty through vulnerability and had a poetic culture that celebrated poetic introspection. The Greeks were fascinated with the introspective world of the psyche, and their ability to express complex emotions and ideas through symbolic and mythological language. To them archetypes were like platonic forms, or perfect ideals, removed from time. [caption id="attachment_4983" align="aligncenter" width="225"]Ancient Greek Beauty[/caption] Rome, like Fitzgerald's contemporary Ernest Hemingway, was more closely associated with the qualities of the animus - the masculine, assertive, and imperialistic, aspects of the psyche. Roman culture was characterized by its emphasis on law, order, and external appearances of military might. It gave rise to some of the most impressive feats of engineering, architecture, and political organization in the ancient world. The Romans were known for their practicality, their discipline, and their ability to translate ideas into concrete realities. To Rome the aspirational and ideological only mattered in hindsight. [caption id="attachment_4984" align="aligncenter" width="300"]Ancient Roman Beauty[/caption] To a Greek one noticed the archetype or one failed to. To a Roman on created the archetype.  Humans made things real or we didn't. Romans got credit for ideas in a way that Greeks didn't. To a Greek we were glimpsing the inevitable realms of the possible. Time was cyclical. Ideas were external. You didn't have ideas, they had you. For Romans a man came up with the ideas. This is an interesting dichotomy because both ideas are true but paradoxical ways of studying the psyche. All of the early modernists engaged with this dialectic differently. Fitzgerald leaned Greek animistic, Hemingway leaned into the Roman Animus and other contemporaries like Gertrude Stein tried to bridge the divide. There was no way around as literature progressed. Greece and Rome were also deeply interconnected and mutually influential. Greek art, literature, and philosophy had a profound impact on Roman culture, and many Romans saw themselves as the heirs and stewards of the Greek intellectual tradition. At the same time, Roman law, government, and military power provided a framework for the spread and preservation of Greek ideas throughout the Mediterranean world. We need both the anima and animus to be the whole self, effective at wrestling the present and possible together if we are to effectively act on the impending real. The intuition of the anima can let us see the future through dreams of creativity and visions for the possible but the animus is what lets us bring our agency to bear on the present moment. It is easy to hide in either one but miss the both. I read The Great Gatsby in high school and it  was one of the few assigned readings I didn't hate. I wanted to read Michael Crichton and classical mythology primary sources but the curriculum wanted me to slog through things like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Zora Neal Hurston. I enjoyed the points those authors made, criticizing puritanism, and celebrating African American folk culture respectively but I thought the stylism made reading them a slog. The Great Gatsby was simple and I have reflected on it over the course of my life. In high-school I saw Hemingway and Fitzgerald as two halves of the same coin. Fitzgerald was the nostalgic, reflective anima to Hemingway's masculine animus. Hemingway jumped headlong into the morphine promises of modernism. Fitzgerald seemed to reflect on modernity better because he was pulled begrudgingly into it while trying to look further and further back into the past and its inevitabilities of "progress". Most of my friends were manly Hemingway's comfortable in the logos of the accessible real, and I was a navel-gazing Fitzgerald who only felt comfortable cloaked in the mythos of intuitive spaces In Jungian psychology, the concepts of anima and animus are crucial for understanding the inner world of the creative. The anima represents the feminine aspects within the male psyche, while the animus represents the masculine aspects within the female psyche. A healthy integration of these archetypes is essential for wholeness in the personal life behind the creative works. As a therapist I find those and other Jungian concepts usefully to understand why certain people gravitate naturally to things over the course of their life. Fitzgerald's work and life were dominated by his anima, which manifested in his nostalgic yearning for the past, his romantic idealization of women, and his sensitivity to the nuances of emotion and beauty. While these qualities fueled his artistic genius, they also left him vulnerable to depression, addiction, and a sense of alienation from the modern world. It was this alienation from modernism while writing as a modernist that gave Gatsby a timeless predictive quality Hemingway lacks. Ultimately he was able to predict the future as a creative but unable to adapt to it as a man. Hemingway, on the other hand, embodied the over-identified animus - the archetypal masculine energy that values strength, independence, and action above all else. His writing celebrated the virtues of courage, stoicism, and physical prowess, and he cultivated a public image as a rugged adventurer and man of action. However, this one-sided embrace of the animus left Hemingway emotionally stunted, unable to connect deeply with others or to find peace within himself. Hemingway is all bombastic adventure and when the adventure is over there was little left. One of  their other contemporaries, Gertrude Stein seems to have been able to achieve a kind of dynamic balance between her masculine and feminine qualities. This is not to say that she was free from all psychological conflicts or blind spots, but rather that she was able to channel her energies into her work and her relationships in a way that was largely generative, sustainable and life-affirming. Stein's life and work could be seen as an example of the transformative power of integrating the anima and animus within the psyche. Fitzgerald's own insecurities and traumas contributed significantly to his anima-dominated psyche and artistic worldview. Fitzgerald remained haunted throughout his life. Had he lived long enough to encounter Jung's work, Fitzgerald would have likely been profoundly influenced by it. Jay Gatsby seems to be the Jungian archetype of the "puer aeternus" (eternal boy) frozen by an impossible to attain object of desire and a refusal to grow up. A charming, appealing, affecting but ultimately failed visionary chasing red herrings. Fitzgerald himself seemed to go down the same path as other male Jungian's, most notably, James Hillman and Robert Moore, failing to fully "ride the animus" and integrate their assertive energies to manifest changes in their personal lives. All were beautiful artists but not always beautiful men, especially in their end. There seems to be a common thread in these anima over identified men - a childhood trauma that stifles self-expression, which paradoxically fosters a some what  magical, intuitive, visionary ability to see the future. In adulthood, this ability makes one a profound artist, garnering success and a wide audience. However, the external validation and success do not heal the original, still screaming, wound. This disconnect between outer success and the failure of that success to balm the original inner pain that sparked the need for it is something that many artists and depth psychologists of this personality type struggle to reconcile from. In high-school they told me The Great Gatsby was the greatest novel ever written and expected me to believe them. They also told me that getting straight A's meant you were smart, that the hardest working got the highest paid, and that all they really wanted me to do was think for myself. All were clearly lies a sophistic system thought I was better off if I believed. Obviously I had to find out later, pushing 40, that the book was on to something great. Or, maybe you have to see the rise and fall of celebrity and missiles and trends and less obvious lies in your life before you start to get the book as its own second act. Saying The Great Gatsby is a good book is like talking about how the Beatles were a great band or the Grand Canyon is big. It's kind of done to death, and it's even silly to say out loud to someone. Everyone had to read it in high school. To say it is your favorite book instantly makes others wonder if you have read another book that you didn't have to read freshman year. Oh, Hamlet is your other "favorite" book? Thinks the person who knows you have skimmed two books in your life and the test. How do you get the prescience of an extremely simple story at 16? How was anyone supposed to in 1925? The Great Gatsby is, perhaps by accident, not really about what it is about. The Great Gatsby is a worm's eye view of the universe that reminds us that our humanity itself IS a worm's eye view of the universe and that our worms eye view on it and each other is what keeps us sane. Sane and the gears of the spectacle of culture and grinding along out of psychic neccesity. We are a myopic species stuck in our own stories and others' stories, but not on our own terms. We are caught between improv and archetype but never free of either. Both subject to the human inevitable indelible programmed narrative and object of our own make-believe individual freedom from it. The Great Gatsby is a book that you read in high school because you could hand it to almost anyone. It has done numbers historically and currently as a work in translation. It holds up some kind of truth to students in places like Iran who have no experience with prohibition, with alcohol, with American culture as insiders. Yet they still feel something relevant connecting them to the real. It works because the characters are kind of stupid. It works because the moral of the story is, on its face, (and just like high school) kind of wrong. The Great Gatsby did see the future; it just didn't know what it saw. I write about intuition quite a bit on our blog, and the thing that I think makes art interesting is when the work of art sees past the knowledge of the artist making the work. The Great Gatsby gets a lot of credit for being prophetic in that it saw the Great Depression as the end of the Jazz age, but it did so because Fitzgerald was seeing his own end. Fitzgerald was severely alcoholic during prohibition, delaying his own deadlines for the novel that almost didn't get there with excuses to his publishers. What would he become after the Volstead Act was repealed? What would the country become after the economic bender that the upper class threw for itself in front of masses that were starving? The power of the novel is when it knows that empires rise and fall. It's when it knows that the valley of ashes is watching your yellow car speed by with dull sad eyes. It's power is in knowing the feeling that when you get what you want, you don't really deserve it, or maybe it doesn't deserve you. Maybe it implies that time is something that we use, tick by tock, as a proxy for meaning because we fundamentally "fumble with clocks" like Gatsby and can't understand time. We need our history and our idolatry of the past to make meaning, but when the lens for our meaning-making remains fixed, the world becomes a pedestal to dark gods demanding the worship of the past at the expense of the future. As a man or a nation, we are bound to hit someone if  we look in the rearview mirror to long. The green light on the dock is a symbol that we mistake for the real thing and "take the long walk of the short dock". With this dishonest relationship to time, we all become a Gatsby or a Tom. I am not sure which is worse. We either lack all ambition and live to keep up appearances, or we have so much ambition that we become the lie. The "beautiful shirts" are just a glittering, stupid, trendy identity that we nationally put on every couple of years to forget that we're about to sink into another depression. Skinny ties are out and gunmetal is in! makes us never have to look at  the other side of ourselves or our empire. The past gives us meaning and identity even as it slowly destroys us and robs us of those things. We are forced to use it as a reference point even though we know this relationship between us and it is doomed. We cannot stop the need for the next recession in this society any more than we cannot stop the need for the next drawer of trendy clothes. The American Dream is a kind of nightmare, but it is still a dream because it keeps us sleeping through the nightmare we are in. Realization of lost purpose, regret and nostalgia, superficiality, emotional turmoil, or tone deaf foreshadowing are not things you need to look at when movies and wars are inventing such beautiful coverings for our imperial core and rent seeking economy. Why then do we cry? Wake up the organist, we are getting bored. In The Great Gatsby, like in a Dickens novel, the plot is the archetype, and that necessitates a lot of conveniences. That might seem like a point of criticism, but it is also very human. Perhaps these truths become tropes are not faults of the plot or its contrivances but reasons for humanity, namely humans in America, to introspect. As individuals or as a society, we turn our insecurity into some amazing and impossible outcome, and then we, like Gatsby, do that to compensate for what we refuse to accept, what we refuse to change about who we are or where we come from. Jay Gatsby is myopic, but he is too naive to be a narcissist. He is just sort of a dream of himself he forgot he was dreaming. Nothing in Fitzgerald's prose leans into The Great Gatsby being directly interpreted as a dream, but it is one possible interpretation that the novel is a sort of collective dream. There is a Tom Buchanan in all of us also. Someone who would burn the world down just because we can't have the lie that we want others to believe about us anymore. He is a refusal to accept the reasonable limitations that might have prevented the Great depression.  If we can't have the whole world, we will blow the whole world up! That is another tension (still unresolved) that The Great Gatsby saw coming for humanity. The two forces of the lie and the dream are the things that make the boom and bust cycle of recession and surplus that have sustained America, sustain the lie in the individual and the society. but shhhhhhh..... it's a dream not a lie!? Just like highschool the powers that be think that you are better off if you believe it. Greece and Rome are relevant details to this reflection on a novel because neither one would have really mattered to history without the other half. Greece invented the culture and religious structure and Rome became the megaphone to amplify expansion of that culture. We study them as highschool students but we don't want to see those distinctions even now. The predictive element in Fitzgerald made him live in a timeless present. His assumptions were at worst  Platonic archetypes where all characters expressed  endless inevitable cycles. At worst his characters were,Aristotelian ideal of knowledge; where ideas had characters, so  characters could not have ideas. Hemingway lived in a Roman, timeless present. Awareness of cycles of  historical and social forces were not important. Maybe  you identify with his archetypes and maybe not. He could not see through them. America when it needs to do advertising for a new product, movie or war will always side with Hemingway. I guess The Old Man and The Sea always feels important, to the individual, but it lacks relevance to the pathos and later deimos that society needs to really introspect well. God is still a broken-down billboard, and only the stupid or the insane in America can recognize God for what he is. If God is happy with what he sees, we clearly are to distracted to notice Him. If god is unhappy, then he does not approve of my America, so he must not be really be God. This is the double bind that the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg, long out of business, put us in. Love me, and you must not be infallible; dislike me, and you must be wrong. Fitzgerald ended his novel, but not his life, on the right note. Listen up creatives. And so we beat on, boats against the current. Ceaselessly borne back into the past. How do you end yours? How do you live it. You read it at 16 but how old are you now? The narrator, Nick Carraway, is a perfect observer because he is hopelessly naive, knowing nothing about human life or experience. He learns all of it in the course of a few days from the terrible follies of the gods of his world - the complete pantheon of all the most powerful forces of the '20s, the real, the now. The traditional historic "blue cover" of The Great Gatsby juxtaposes the face of a '20s flapper with the skyline of a city lit for celebration. The flapper's face is studded with the traditional burlesque Cleopatra makeup that already juxtaposes a beauty mark with a teardrop. In the cover, the rising celebration of a firework becomes a teardrop falling. Is up and down forever really the same direction?, the book asks you before you open it. The Wall Street Journal tells you that same thing today in more words. Fitzgerald never found a way to see past himself, even when he wrote those truths in his fiction.  He ended his career in Hollywood, helping better screenwriters by coasting on his reputation from the book that became a meteoric firework. In the end, he became a cautionary tale, a reminder that even the most gifted among us are not immune to the ravages of trauma and addiction masquerading as intuition and artistry and the weight of unfulfilled dreams. What does Nick do with his when the book ends in the Autumn of 22? Did he make it out of the Autumn Summer cycle of New York? Do we? Summary of Key Points for SEO purposes: The Great Gatsby speaks to both the sparkle of spectacle and the timeless inevitable reality it distracts us from. It was initially successful, then forgotten, and later rediscovered as a prescient warning. The essay compares ancient Greek and Roman cultures to the anima and animus in Jungian psychology. It posits that F. Scott Fitzgerald embodied the anima while Ernest Hemingway embodied the animus. A healthy psyche requires integrating both. Fitzgerald's own traumas and insecurities contributed to his anima-dominated psyche. His life and work, especially the character of Jay Gatsby, seem to align with the Jungian archetype of the "puer aeternus" (eternal boy). The essay argues The Great Gatsby is prophetic in foreseeing the end of the Jazz Age and the coming Great Depression, even if Fitzgerald didn't fully comprehend the implications of his own novel. The novel's enduring appeal lies in its simple yet profound truths about the human condition - our need for meaning from the past, the dangers of living in a dream or lie, the inevitable boom and bust cycles of individuals and societies. The essay suggests The Great Gatsby can be interpreted as a collective dream, with Jay Gatsby representing naive ambition and Tom Buchanan representing entitled destruction. Ultimately, Fitzgerald became a cautionary tale, showing that even the most gifted are not immune to unfulfilled dreams and inner demons. The novel asks if we can break free of the cycles of our pasts. The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg on the billboard are interpreted as a symbol of a broken-down God, whom only the stupid or insane in America can recognize for what he truly is. The essay suggests that if God is happy with what he sees, people are too distracted to notice Him, and if God is unhappy, then He must not approve of America, and therefore cannot really be God. This creates a double bind for the characters and readers, forcing them to either accept a fallible God or reject a disapproving one. The American Dream is portrayed as a nightmare that keeps people asleep, preventing them from confronting the harsh realities of their lives and society. The essay argues that the need for the next economic recession is as inevitable as the need for the next trendy fashion. The essay points out that the plot of The Great Gatsby relies on archetypes and conveniences, which might seem like a flaw but actually reflects the human tendency to seek meaning in familiar patterns and narratives. The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg on the billboard are interpreted as a symbol of a seemingly absent or indifferent God, who either approves of the characters' actions or is powerless to intervene. This creates a double bind for the characters and readers alike. The essay emphasizes the importance of the novel's narrator, Nick Carraway, as a naive observer who learns about the complexities and tragedies of life through his encounters with the other characters. His journey mirrors the reader's own process of disillusionment and realization.  

It's been 50 years since the release of the 1974 film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, THE GREAT GATSBY. Highlighting the 50th anniversary of the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY is another opportunity to talk with author and professor of English Emily Bernard about this 1920s novel adapted for film and the themes that continue to resonate with our own times. Our conversation with Emily about the film adaptation of Nella Larsen's 1929 novel PASSING in episode 2 of the podcast, remains one of our most popular listens. Directed by Jack Clayton, and featuring Robert Redford as Jay Gatsby, Mia Farrow as Daisy Buchanan, and Sam Waterston as Nick Carraway, the film is a window into the roaring 1920s or the "Jazz Age," as Fitzgerald is credited for coining the phrase. The story is also a mirror on American social constructs for wealth, class, and illusion, as well as the destructive power to recapture the past. ----- Notes: "Negro" is used in its proper historical context in this conversation. *Spoiler alert* for persons who've never seen any film or television adaptation of F.

www.taletellerclub.comRevisiting the Timeless Elegance of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott FitzgeraldIn the annals of American literature, few works stand as iconic and enduring as F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, "The Great Gatsby." First published in 1925, this novel has transcended time and continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes, vivid characters, and exquisite prose.Set in the prosperous Jazz Age of the 1920s, "The Great Gatsby" transports readers into the glamorous world of Long Island's elite, where wealth, excess, and ambition collide. At the heart of the story is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and enigmatic millionaire who throws lavish parties in hopes of winning back the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan. Through the eyes of narrator Nick Carraway, we are drawn into Gatsby's glittering but ultimately tragic pursuit of the American Dream.One of the most striking aspects of Fitzgerald's novel is its portrayal of the American Dream and its disillusionment. Gatsby, with his humble beginnings and relentless drive for success, embodies the belief that anyone can rise from obscurity to greatness in America. However, as the story unfolds, we come to realize that Gatsby's wealth and status cannot buy him the happiness and fulfillment he seeks. His obsession with the past and his inability to accept the passage of time ultimately lead to his downfall, serving as a poignant commentary on the emptiness of materialism and the fleeting nature of success.Central to the narrative is the theme of love and longing, particularly Gatsby's unrequited love for Daisy. Their relationship, marked by passion, deception, and tragedy, serves as a powerful symbol of the complexities of human desire and the consequences of holding onto illusions. Fitzgerald's exploration of love and social class resonates just as strongly today as it did nearly a century ago, reminding us of the universal truths that lie at the heart of human experience.Equally compelling are Fitzgerald's characters, each intricately drawn with depth and complexity. From the enigmatic Gatsby to the shallow and disillusioned Daisy, to the morally bankrupt Tom Buchanan, the novel is populated with unforgettable personalities who reflect the contradictions and complexities of the Jazz Age society. Through their interactions and conflicts, Fitzgerald paints a vivid portrait of a world on the brink of change, where old traditions clash with modern aspirations, and the pursuit of happiness often leads to despair.Beyond its thematic depth and rich characterizations, "The Great Gatsby" is celebrated for its exquisite prose and lyrical style. Fitzgerald's writing is imbued with a sense of poetry and rhythm, capturing the beauty and the tragedy of the human condition with remarkable precision. His descriptive passages evoke the opulence and decadence of the era, transporting readers to a time and place that is both enchanting and haunting.In conclusion, "The Great Gatsby" endures as a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. Through its exploration of themes such as the American Dream, love, and the passage of time, Fitzgerald's novel offers profound insights into the human experience that remain as relevant today as they were in the Roaring Twenties. As we revisit this literary masterpiece, we are reminded of the enduring power of great literature to illuminate the depths of the human soul and to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

Please say: -What the book was about -When and where you read it -Why it had a significant impact on you -And say whether you would you recommend this book to others A book that I found impactful is "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I first encountered this book during my university years while studying literature. It's not very long, so I was able to read it in one afternoon in my university's library. The book had a significant impact on me due to its themes and the portrayal of the characters' aspirations and shortcomings, which I found very relatable. It delves into the lives of Jay Gatsby, a self-made millionaire who is known for his extravagant parties, and Nick Carraway, the narrator who becomes entangled in Gatsby's world. I really enjoyed how the book uses a story to examine topics such as the elusive nature of happiness and the limits of wealth and opulence. For example, despite his wealth, Jay Gatsby is unable to change the past and rekindle his relationship with a woman named Daisy. This leaves him in a permanent state of sorrow and sets up other events in the story that provide a fascintating exploration of the complexities of human nature. I would definitely recommend "The Great Gatsby" to others. The novel's timeless themes of wealth, aspiration, and the human desire for something more make it a captivating and thought-provoking read. It continues to resonate with readers of all generations, and I feel it invites them to reflect on their own ambitions and the meaning of success in the modern world.

Tonight, we'll read an excerpt from “The Great Gatsby,” a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. This episode first aired in June of 2021. The novel was inspired by youthful romance and riotous parties the author had recently experienced. “The Great Gatsby” was a commercial failure that many critics thought was sub-par to Fitzgerald's previous work. Now, it is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel. — read by V — Support us: Listen ad-free on Patreon Get Snoozecast merch like cozy sweatshirts and accessories

Exploring the Core Ideas: The Great GatsbyChapter 1 A In-Depth Summary and Review of The Great GatsbyThe Great Gatsby is a novel that explores the excesses and decadence of the Jazz Age, as seen through the eyes of Nick Carraway, a young man who becomes drawn into the world of the wealthy elite on Long Island. At the center of the story is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and reclusive millionaire who throws extravagant parties in an attempt to win back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan. As Nick becomes more involved in Gatsby's world, he begins to uncover the truth about Gatsby's past and the unsavory characters that surround him. Filled with themes of love, wealth, and the American Dream, The Great Gatsby is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its vivid prose, memorable characters, and haunting imagery. F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterful storytelling captures the spirit of the era while also exploring deeper questions about the human condition and the nature of desire.Chapter 2 The Life and Career of Francis Scott Fitzgerald: The Master Strategist Behind The Great GatsbyThe life of Francis Scott Fitzgerald, author of The Great Gatsby, was a tumultuous journey marked by both triumph and tragedy. Born in 1896, Fitzgerald grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota, and attended Princeton University. After college, he moved to New York City and began writing stories that captured the spirit of the Jazz Age. His breakthrough came with the publication of This Side of Paradise in 1920, which made him a literary sensation overnight. Throughout his career, Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism, failed relationships, and financial difficulties. After a period of decline, he died in Hollywood, California, in 1940, at the age of 44. Despite his personal struggles, Fitzgerald's legacy as one of America's greatest writers lives on. His novels and stories continue to be read and admired for their vivid prose, incisive commentary on American culture, and enduring themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life.Chapter 3 Dissecting The Great Gatsby: An Insightful Chapter-by-Chapter SummaryChapter 1: The novel opens with Nick Carraway moving to West Egg, Long Island, and attending a dinner party hosted by his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom. Nick also meets Jordan Baker, a professional golfer, and learns about Tom's extramarital affair. Chapter 2: Tom takes Nick to visit his mistress, Myrtle Wilson, in the valley of ashes. They attend a party at Myrtle's apartment, where tensions rise and violence erupts. Chapter 3: Nick attends one of Gatsby's extravagant parties, which epitomize the excesses and decadence of the era. Chapter 4: Gatsby invites Nick to lunch and shares details about his mysterious past, including his rise to wealth and his desire to win back Daisy. Chapter 5: Gatsby finally reunites with Daisy, and their reunion is both romantic and fraught with tension. Gatsby shows Daisy his mansion and his extensive collection of shirts, leading to a memorable scene. These chapters offer just a glimpse into the rich tapestry of characters, themes, and motifs explored in The Great Gatsby, making it an essential read for anyone interested in American literature.Chapter 4 A Comprehensive Guide to The Great Gatsby Audio Book Notes for Mastery1.

Welcome to Encore our binge reading episode, where we chat to previous guests of the show about their latest releases. And today we're talking to Jillian Cantor about Beautiful Little Fools her re-imagining of an American classic from the viewpoint of the female characters. Hi there. I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler. Jillian last appeared on the show in July, 2021, talking about Half Life the Marie Curie story, the fictionalized story of the famous physicist who won the Nobel Peace Prize twice. You can find that in our backlist at the link below. Today's book, Beautiful Little Fools is rather different. It takes F Scott Fitzgerald's jazz age classic, The Great Gatsby and tells of the critical events in that story through the eyes of the three main women characters, Catherine, Daisy and Jordan.

Hello there, Jillian, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you back with us. Jillian Cantor: Hi, how are you? Introducing author Jillian Cantor Jenny Wheeler: I'm really good, thank you. Tell us, what's different about your book to the great classic Jillian Cantor: The original Great Gatsby takes place over one summer in this fictional part of Long Island and it's narrated by an outsider, Nick Carraway, who's distantly related to Daisy and becomes enamored with his neighbor, Jay Gatsby, over the summer. And my novel is narrated by the women who are in F Scott Fitzgerald's story, but don't really have much of a voice in it. So the things that Nick tells us about that summer often come up in my novel, but appear very differently from the women's points of view. And my novel also starts in 1917, about five years before the original Great Gatsby and then goes through the summer that The Great Gatsby takes place in. Jenny Wheeler: And by doing that, by adding those extra years, we also get a really clear idea of those women, Catherine, Daisy and Jordan, and how they might be interlinked and also how they are all in the net surrounding Gatsby himself. And that's a fun part of the story, to understand or to be given those interconnections. The women characters get their say Jillian Cantor: That was my fictionalizing, the story. In the original, the women are involved so much in the plot, the affairs and the murders and the parties and the glamor all revolves around the women, but in the original novel, they don't speak very much. We definitely don't know what they're thinking. My novel brings that all together and explores what that might have been. Jenny Wheeler: Run us through the process of how you got drawn into taking this on as your next book. What was the fascination for you in it?

Jackie brings us a question from her sister (because we know about gender things).  Theo has 200 Microsoft Bing points.  Rachel makes the case for gay Nick.  Topics include: whether or not Nick Carraway is an aphrodisiac, Google vs. Bing, what Gatsby got up to at night as a teen, Nathan Fielder, Bing Boys, the function of holidays, underwear problems, The Room, Griselda the horse, ghosting, and cuddly buddies. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

No deja hablar. Se le perdona porque siempre tiene algo interesante que decir. Sobre su vida misma o sobre la realidad que le circunda. Después de mi primera comida con él, salí con la sensación de saber más de sus debilidades que de las mías propias. Nunca me habría contado a mí mismo lo que Pedro me contó de sí aquella vez. Por un instante me vi en el papel de Nick Carraway, de El Gran Gatsby, cuando señalaba la atracción de las más extraordinarias naturalezas hacia su persona como una de las consecuencias de la tendencia a reservase las opiniones. Luego supe que Pedro Herrero se conduce así con todos, incluidos oyentes y lectores. No me dejarán por mentiroso aquellos que se hayan asomado a ‘Extremo Centro: El Manifiesto’. ¿Un manual de autoayuda? ¿Un relato de superación? ¿La turra de un renacido en Cristo? Nada de eso. Una ambiciosa explicación de andar por casa para entender el mundo que se nos echa encima. Y aquí entramos en el otro elemento que nutre la verborrea crónica de Herrero: la realidad política que le rodea. Que nadie espere leyendo el libro o escuchando la entrevista que sigue la confirmación de nuestros más arraigados sesgos. O no a la manera en la que los pensamos en nuestra cabeza y los expresamos en nuestra conversación. Pedro es capaz de reformular una enorme cantidad de conceptos. Hasta el punto de hacerte creer que Occidente lo salvará en el último momento, no un pelotón de soldados, sino unos cuñados alrededor de una barbacoa, un día de piscina, con sus mujeres y sus hijos.

In the second of two episodes about reinterpretations of The Great Gatsby, host Douglas Cowie and his guest, Michael Coyle, discuss The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo, in which Daisy Buchanan's golf star friend Jordan Baker narrates a dark, fantastical and politically-charged version of the same events that Nick Carraway tells in Fitzgerald's 1925 novel.

It's FACPOV 2: The Empire Strikes Back -- or, wait a minute, nope, we gave this episode a different funny name. In today's episode, Fern and Julia return their discussion of point of view as Fern teaches the class about 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person POV, the difference between an involved and an uninvolved narrator, and the way POV shapes a narrative. Why might an author choose to write in the 3rd person subjective POV instead of the 1st person? What can we learn from uninvolved narrators like Nick Carraway? Is The Bad Batch truly about the Bad Batch?  And why do so many canon Star Wars novels include a rotating cast of 3rd person subjective POV characters?On the Syllabus Today:Method and Madness: The Making of a Story by Alice LePlantThe Bad Batch (2021)Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott (2021)Phasma by Delilah S.

Esta noche viajamos a un tiempo idealizado e irremediablemente perdido. Nos enfrentamos al calor de un verano que parecía infinito, a una era de esplendor y desenfreno que Francis Scott Fitzgerald reflejó en una de sus obras mayores, El Gran Gatsby; hoy, nos detenemos en los oropeles y el brillo de la adaptación dirigida por Jack Clayton, en 1974. Se derrama por los rincones de una fastuosa mansión, el alcohol, la libertad del Jazz y el canto del cisne de toda una generación; un momento clave de la era moderna; exhibiendo los vicios y el declive moral que nos llevarían a otra gran guerra. Llevar a la gran pantalla la obra de Scott Fitzgerald no fue nada fácil, un trago solo al alcance de un productor con un ego tan grande como el del propio Gatsby, Robert Evans, al respaldo de la Paramount. El elenco es inmejorable, Robert Redford como el misterioso Jay Gatsby; la etérea e inalcanzable Mia Farrow como Daisy; Sam Waterston, absolutamente soberbio, como Nick Carraway, el narrador de la historia; Bruce Dern encarnando al estereotipado y repulsivo Tom Buchanam; Karen Black, Lois Chiles, Scott Wilson… Una historia complicada y sencilla al mismo tiempo, porque no deja de ser más que un juego de espejos, un fogonazo de luz que enfoca el alma americana hasta desnudarla por completo….: Los nuevos ricos, el abismo entre el abolengo de las clases sociales, que dominan el mundo por derecho propio, y el espíritu americano de conquista y esplendor; el Este y el Oeste; una ilusión tan Naif que se vuelve real, tan palpable que se escurre entre las dedos…. El guión es de Francis Ford Coppola, en plena efervescencia entre los Padrinos, pero aún con estos mimbres la película no es redonda. El Gran Gatsby es un agónico grito por recuperar el pasado, el amor de juventud al que el destino y el dinero negaron su oportunidad. Se tachó la película de literatura filmada, de fallida, para mí sigue siendo la mejor adaptación de esta dolorosa historia, llena altibajos, pero sublime y evocadora por momentos, falta de ritmo y tediosa también, como la vida misma, como una noche en la que la copa de champán siempre está llena. Hoy nos acercaremos al mito de Gatsby, mientras la misteriosa luz verde de un embarcadero, al otro lado de la bahía, nos llama….Rosario Medina, Zacarias Cotán, Raúl Gallego, Gervi Navío y Salvador Limón.

Assim, Nick é atraído para o mundo cativante dos ricos, suas ilusões, amores e fraudes. Ao testemunhar fatos dentro e fora do mundo em que habita, Nick escreve um conto de amor impossível, sonhos e tragédias que espelham conflitos em tempos modernos.

Tonight, we'll read an excerpt from “The Great Gatsby,” a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.The novel was inspired by youthful romance and riotous parties the author had recently experienced.“The Great Gatsby” was a commercial failure that many critics thought was sub-par to Fitzgerald's previous work. Now, it is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.— read by 'N' —Privacy Policy and California Privacy Notice.

Welcome to the first episode of Classic Tales! I am so excited (and a bit nervous) to share Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby. This chapter took place in 1922, and right after graduating from Yale University, Nick Carraway introduces himself as an aspiring bondman. The latter has just moved to New York's Long Island from Minnesota. Nick speaks of the story's hero, Gatsby, representing everything he scorns about New York but holds a gorgeous personality. All the while, Nick spends his first night with his cousin, Daisy, and her husband, Tom Buchanan, in their Georgian colonial mansion. Listen on to find out more about this Gatsby fellow and whether Nick succeeds as a bondman.

Silvana vuelve al podcast para hablar con Daniel de una de sus novelas favoritas. Discuten la breve vida de Fitzgerald, su uso de la geografía, sus descripciones de rostros y voces y la manera en que aludió al trauma de guerra y a cuánto cuidado puso en la creación de la voz narrativa de Nick Carraway.

In the nineteenth episode of the Outcry Theatre Podcast, artistic director Becca Johnson-Spinos talks with three of the lead actors from Outcry Youth Theatre's recent production of The Great Gatsby: Brayden Lawrence and Calin Eastes as Nick Carraway and Peyton Nicholson as Jay Gatsby. They talk about this new adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's American classic, written by Jason and Becca Johnson-Spinos, about the important metaphors and symbols from the novel and the play, and about how The Great Gatsby is still relevant one-hundred years later.

“Nueva York empezó a gustarme por su chispeante y aventurera sensación nocturna, y por la satisfacción que presta a la mirada humana su constante revoloteo de hombres, mujeres y máquinas. Gustaba de pasear por la Quinta Avenida y elegir románticas mujeres de entre la multitud; imaginar que dentro de breves minutos irrumpiría en su vida, sin que nadie lo supiera o desaprobara”. -Fragmento de 'El Gran Gatsby'- Francis Scott Fitzgerald nació en 1.896 en Saint Paul, Minnesota. Abandonó la Universidad de Princeton en 1.917 para alistarse en el ejército durante la I Guerra Mundial. Se enamoró de Zelda Sayre, hija de un juez, y se casó con ella a los veinticuatro años, tras lograr el éxito con su primera novela “A este lado del paraíso”. Juntos tuvieron una hija, y él mantenía a la familia escribiendo relatos para revistas populares. Su segunda novela, “Hermosos y malditos”, confirmó su reputación como principal cronista y crítico de la era del jazz. En 1.924 se trasladó con Zelda a la Costa Azul francesa para escribir “El gran Gatsby”. Posteriormente vivirían a caballo entre Francia y Estados Unidos. Fitzgerald tuvo una relación problemática con el alcohol; tras publicar “Suave es la noche” en 1.934, batalló durante dos años contra la bebida y la depresión. En 1.937 probó a escribir guiones para Hollywood, donde murió de un ataque al corazón en 1.940 a los cuarenta y cuatro años. Charlando con Ernest Hemingway, la escritora y anfitriona literaria Gertrude Stein de refirió a una generación perdida de jóvenes: aquellos que habían servido en la I Guerra Mundial. Según Hemingway, Stein había oído por primera vez la expresión en boca del propietario de un taller que le había reparado el coche: un detalle anecdótico que resuena sugestivamente en las escenas del garaje de “El gran Gatsby”. En este contexto significa desorientada o alienada, más que desaparecida. Después de que Hemingway la empleara en el epígrafe de su novela “Fiesta”, la expresión “Generación Perdida” vino a designar a un grupo de jóvenes autores estadounidenses expatriados en el crisol creativo del París de los años veinte, que incluía a Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, Ezra Pound y el propio Hemingway. La I Guerra Mundial les había dejado su impronta, y ellos eran inquietos y cínicos, y buscaban sentido en la experiencia del amor, la escritura, la bebida y el placer. Fitzgerald, uno de los escritores más importantes de la Generación Perdida, se vio seducido por el centelleo de la llamada en la década de 1.920, al mismo tiempo que era agudamente consciente de sus deficientes valores morales y de la vacuidad de su promesa de una vida mejor para todos. Su novela más famosa, “El gran Gatsby”, relata la historia del sueño de amor frustrado de Jay Gatsby, pero es al mismo tiempo la historia del fracaso del Sueño Americano, en que su promesa de un mundo mejor se revela como una farsa. Fitzgerald veía la era del jazz como una época milagrosa y excesiva, marcada por una nueva prosperidad posbélica centrada en Wall Street, donde se hacían fortunas inmensas comerciando con acciones y bonos. El ideal del hombre hecho a sí mismo era un atractivo antídoto contra el poder del dinero transmitido por herencia y el matrimonio entre las mejores familias. En Estados Unidos, los años veinte parecían ofrecer una nueva movilidad social que sanaba las heridas de clase y desafiaba al esnobismo. Los que habían buscado suerte en el Oeste ahora volvían al Este para hacer fortuna y gastar sus riquezas en casas magníficas, lujosos objetos y un alto nivel de vida; al menos, ese era el sueño. Pero la realidad era que la riqueza para unos conllevaba el empobrecimiento de otros, y además suscitaba una cultura de brillo superficial, pero moral y espiritualmente vacía. La falsedad cundía en todas sus formas y el esnobismo pervivía: simplemente había encontrado nuevos objetivos. Tras la aprobación en 1.919 de la 18ª Enmienda, que prohibía la venta de alcohol, muchos emprendedores canalizaron su talento hacia el contrabando de licor ilegal, gran parte del cual se vendía en bares clandestinos. Por otra parte, el racismo era algo generalizado; en el primer capítulo de la novela, Tom Buchanan lo expresa abiertamente: “ Si no nos mantenemos en guardia, la raza blanca acabará….., acabará hundiéndose completamente”. Scott Fitzgerald veía su novela como . Este brillo, reflejado en una prosa sensual teñida de un tono romántico, es visible en el deslumbrante glamour de la lujosa sociedad de la Costa Este que Fitzgerald retrata. Jay Gatsby, posee una mansión colosal al estilo de una villa francesa en el West Egg, en la costa de Long Island frente a Nueva York. Gatsby es un enigma, un recién llegado del Medio Oeste sobre el que circulan muchos rumores: que asesinó a un hombre, que su supuesta educación en Oxford es mentira, que hizo su fortuna con el alcohol ilegal…...Cada sábado celebra decadentes fiestas con cientos de invitados, según describe Nick Carraway, el narrador, que ha alquilado una pequeña casa vecina. En estas juergas hay risas y jazz, pero también mucha embriaguez y riñas, especialmente entre parejas. De hecho, a lo largo de la obra, los diálogos entre hombres y mujeres suelen ser frívolos e insinceros. Nick llegará a conocer a Gatsby y descubrirá su secreto: que durante cinco años ha estado obsesivamente enamorado de la bella y mundana Daisy Buchaman, la cual resulta ser prima de Nick, y que está casada con Tom Buchanan, un adinerado amigo de universidad de Nick. Daisy es la razón de que Gatsby haya comprado la mansión en la orilla opuesta a la de la casa colonial georgiana de Tom y Daisy, en el East Egg. Gatsby exhibe su riqueza, adquirida en oscuros negocios con un criminal de aire mafioso llamado Meyer Wolfsheim, con el único objetivo de recuperar a su amor perdido, ahora que por fin dispone de capital para mantenerla. Los temas de la novela se desarrollan sobre una topografía muy simbólica. El East Egg, hogar de Daisy y Tom, así como de la mayoría de los invitados a las fiestas de Gatsby, simboliza los valores tradicionales y el dinero viejo; el West Egg, donde vive Gatsby, representa la moderna opulencia de los nuevos ricos. Cerca se halla Nueva York, repleta de negocios turbios y placeres clandestinos. En medio, el : una extensión de terreno donde se materializa la desolación subyacente al glamour. Esta región desolada recuerda a “La tierra baldía” de T.S. Elliot, cuyo título hace referencia al antiguo mito de un reino azotado por una maldición. Aquí vive la amante de Tom Buchanan, Myrthe Wilson, con su triste y pasivo marido, propietario de un garaje, cerca de la gigante valla publicitaria de una óptica. Las gafas del anuncio constituyen un guiño irónico, pues en el mundo de Gatsby nadie muestra demasiada claridad visual; ni siquiera Nick, quién dice que “suelo reservarme mis juicios”, pero que en realidad se siente superior a todos, incluida su cínica novia, la golfista profesional Jordan Baker. Jordan y Daisy aparecen primero vestidas de blanco, pero ninguna de ellas es tan inocente como este color podría sugerir. En “El gran Gatsby” el color tiene un valor altamente simbólico. Gatsby viste un traje rosa y conduce un Rolls-Royce amarillo, colores que denotan su necesidad desesperada de impresionar. Uno de los símbolos dominantes en la novela es el verde, el color de la luz al final del embarcadero de Daisy, hacia donde Gatsby mira con anhelo desde el otro lado del agua. En las páginas finales, a solas en el jardín vacío de Gatsby, Nick tiene la visión de “un pecho de nuevo mundo, verde y joven”, vislumbrado por los primeros colonos que llegaron a Long Island, y medita sobre la creencia de Gatsby en esa simbólica “luz verde, el futuro orgiástico que año tras año retrocede ante nosotros”. Es aquí, bajo esa luz verde y en esa tierra verde, donde convergen las inquietudes de la novela sobre el destino del individuo y de la nación. Al final de la novela, viendo el Este como un lugar afligido por la tragedia y según Nick “distorsionado, sin que mis ojos pudieran corregirlo”, este regresa a su hogar del Medio Oeste. Con sus cambiantes, mundanas y sumamente matizadas percepciones y simpatías, Nick es tan protagonista de la novela como Gatsby. La reflexión que nos deja es que el pasado tira irresistiblemente de nosotros : los sueños de progreso son puro oropel. Mientras planificaba la novela, en 1.923 , Scott Fitzgerald escribió que . Logró esta ambición, pero inicialmente la novela recibió una crítica desigual y se vendió mal. En el momento de su muerte, Fitzgerald se consideraba un fracasado: en la declaración de derechos de autor de su último año de vida, solo se consignaron setenta y dos ejemplares vendidos de sus nueve títulos. Actualmente, “El gran Gatsby” y “Suave es la noche” se cuentan generalmente entre las mejores novelas estadounidenses. “Suave es la noche”, publicada en 1.934, noveliza hebras de la turbulenta vida del autor, incluidos el adulterio, la enfermedad mental y una aguda sensación de fracaso personal y creativo. “El gran Gatsby” es la más aclamada de sus obras. Es particularmente admirada por su análisis forense de un ambiente y sus defectos; por su prosa finamente calculada, que combina la informalidad de la primera persona con una soberbia cadencia descriptiva; por sus diálogos magníficamente expresivos, capaces de revelar un vacío moral en el más breve de los intercambios; y por su perfección estructural, que es notable, por ejemplo, en el encaje del relato de Jordan de los antecedentes de Gatsby, que es tanto retrospectivo como prospectivo. Al igual que el resto de la Generación Perdida, Fitzgerald expresaba una reacción al espíritu de la época, o sea, desilusión, pérdida de rumbo moral, prevalencia de lo material sobre lo espiritual, y, sin embargo, su novela trasciende el momento de su creación. Ello se debe en parte a su vigencia en el mundo actual, con sus celebridades, su voracidad empresarial y su economía mundial impulsada por el precio inflado de los activos. Pero también es intemporal porque, estéticamente, cada uno de sus aspectos testimonia la incuestionable maestría de Scott Fitzgerald en el arte narrativo.

Podcast: Unsolicited Response Podcast (LS 30 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: Book Review: This Is How They Tell Me The World EndsPub date: 2021-04-13Short Review This is a book that an ICS security professional should give to friends and family to read so they know why they do what they do. Nicole guides the lay person through her compelling journey to understand the 0day market and its impact on the security of the systems we all rely on. The ICSsec pro will find it to be interesting except for the parts on ICS / critical infrastructure where it is a historical fiction ... historical incidents extrapolated to their most dire possible results rather than presented in their true context. Detailed Review This was a very difficult book to review. I'm conflicted because the story is engaging and will keep the lay person turning the pages. The 0day market through line is well told, and the theme and major points Nicole is making are clear and compelling. And yet the parts I know in detail, ICS security and critical infrastructure, are portrayed in a light that is misleading, and even deliberately misleading. Misleading because a lay reader, including government policymakers, would almost certainly conclude the US critical infrastructure at this moment is compromised and a click or two away from the Russians, or other adversaries, causing a major catastrophe. The Story ... The Positive Imagine you are trying to tell your Mom or Dad, your Husband/Wife/Partner, your close friend about cybersecurity risk and how it could affect their lives, their communities and their country or region. This is hard. If you get into the technical details you will lose them. If you try to add too much nuance (HT: RLee) you will lose them. There needs to be a captivating story that makes the non-technical audience keep reading even if they don't care about the tech. Nicole has succeeded in this area by inserting herself into the story. She is not the heroine of the story. Instead she is the observer, the Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby, who is observing the players in the 0day world who are neither pure heroes nor pure villains. She begins her journey naively at S4x13 in Miami Beach and investigates for over seven years. Never actually reaching a point of knowing the market, and yet she describes what she knows and what cannot be known. The best parts of the book are when Nicole is an active character, walking through the world and talking to the players. You feel her frustration, fear, intimidation, dread and disgust. You want her to come out the other side with some answers or even the answer. Although to her credit she does not force a solution. The ending is actually more muddled than the beginning. It makes for a less satisfying journey, and it is more accurate. Nicole's journey is the highlight of the book. The reason why you can recommend it to your Mom or Dad. It would have been even better for the lay reader had she not tried to add in the history, the details. It does not go deep into the technical details like Kim Zetter's Countdown to Zero Day, which can be viewed as a positive or negative. My view is if you are not going to push for technical accuracy, then less is better. Still the book is an interesting read as my family members can attest. The Theme I'm sympathetic with the theme that the US Government's focus on offense, in this book primarily the accumulation of 0days, has made the world more dangerous. We see this offense focus clearly and unapologeticly stated by NSA and Cyber Command across multiple leaders. The dominance of offensive theory and capabilities makes for a less stable world. My hope for any policy makers reading this book is they reject the current philosophy of "we can't defend so we need to be able to attack first and potentially cause even greater damage". Nicole repeatedly shows where US actions to buy 0days resulted in an unexpected and negative result. What is less certain is whether the 0day market was inevitable whether the US participated, or even led, in the early years. Nicole bemoans that "the cyberarms market was an incoherent mess". There were buyers and sellers reaching agreement, so it was not an incoherent mess. It was unregulated and led to undesirable outcomes in the past and likely in the future. However unless there are agreed upon cyber norms, similar to biological and chemical weapons, this was and is to be expected. The Technical ... The Negative I'm only qualified to comment on the ICS / Critical Infrastructure part of the book. My guess though is if you are part of the Vulnerability Equities Process (VEP), 0day market, Ecko Party, ... the parts of the book that discuss your area will be frustrating. I say this because anyone reading the ICS / Critical Infrastructure part of the book would come out with an incorrect understanding of the current capability of Russia and other adversaries to cause a catastrophic event using existing deployed exploits of the US critical infrastructure. There is not a lot of factual detail in the book, again good for the lay person reader, and therefore creating an errata list wouldn't be a compelling case. In the ICS area, there was one major mistake on page 297: It was an act of unprecedented digital cruelty, but the Russians stopped just short of taking lives. Six hours later, they flipped the power back on in Ukraine, just long enough to send their neighbor, and Kyiv's backers in Washington a clear message: "We can torch you". This clearly implies that the Russians stopped their attack and turned the power back on in Ukraine. What actually happened was the Ukrainians went out to the substations and manually brought them back on line and operated them manually for many months. The SCADA system was down for about a year. Nicole was right that a "clear message" was sent. This error on its own in a 400-page book would not be an issue. The issue is that every incident is presented in its worst possible light. Often not wrong by a strict parsing of the text, but misleading. A great example is Wolf Creek Nuclear plant on page 397: the Russians were inside our nuclear plants ... The code made clear that Russia's hackers had breached the most alarming target of all: Wolf Creek, the 1200 mega-watt nuclear power plant near Burlington, Kansas. This was no espionage attack. The Russians were mapping out the plant's networks for a future attack; they had already compromised the industrial engineers who maintain direct access to the reactor controls ... And the goal wasn't to stop the boom. It was to trigger one. Although she doesn't state it, this quote and the surrounding text would almost certainly be read as the Russians were in the nuclear control and safety systems. The reality is that an adversary had breached the office network at the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant, but they had not yet been able to breach the ICS that controlled the nuclear plant nor the safety systems that would need to fail to cause "the boom". Nicole wrote on page 392, "The technical community will argue I have overgeneralized and oversimplified, and indeed, some of the issues and solutions are highly technical and better left to them." When I had my interview with Nicole and wrote this review, this sentence kept running through my mind. After much introspection and consideration of this point, I do believe that this Wolf Creek example and many others in the book would lead the lay person to an incorrect understanding of the current state. How different would a reader's understanding be if the Wolf Creek incident would have said the Russians were just outside the control and safety systems. Yes, they were knocking on the doors where accounting, HR, and other office functions take place, but they had not yet gotten in to plant operations or safety systems. Another specific example is related to the Bowman Avenue Sluice Gate. To her credit Nicole notes in an early section that this is not Arthur R. Bowman dam in Oregon. However in the concluding chapter she writes, "We've caught Iranian hackers rifling through our dams." An Internet connected, ~5 meter wide, ~1 meter high sluice gate that keeps a neighborhood from flooding a couple of times a year is not a national security event and not worth noting as a reason for perilous concern in the concluding chapter. Beyond the ICS security specifics, and probably more important, are the unsubstantiated contentions that the Russians and adversaries are in our systems and a click away from causing a catastrophic event. There are many in the book's text and in the interviews. Page 297 "By now, Russian hackers were so deeply embedded in the American grid and critical infrastructure, they were only one step from taking everything down". Pivot Podcast "Russia's in our government networks, they are in the grid, they've gotten into the power plants, we've seen them break into nuclear plants" "the worst case scenario is just one more minute away is because no one has actually used these accesses to turn off the power yet; it's two clicks away."   Page 380: "Russia invisibly worked their way into an untold number of nuclear and power plants around the country." There are many more examples where the book's clear message is that the adversaries, Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians are able to cause a critical infrastructure catastrophe. The facts don't indicate this. As noted in the summary, Nicole has taken historical incidents and either extrapolated them to their most hysterical or left out the a sentence or two that would give the reader the correct impression. This approach is consistent throughout the text. If the goal is to grab the lay reader by the shoulders and shake them saying this is important, it is a successful deception. Still it is nearly as scary without the hyperbole. Recommendations The final chapter includes a set of recommendations that are underwhelming. Vendors need to have a security development lifecycle (SDL) and put out better systems. The end users, the people need to be more security aware. In this area I don't fault Nicole because there are not easy answers. It might have been better to leave this chapter off. One interesting suggestion was on Page 398: We could start by passing laws with real teeth that mandate, for instance, that critical infrastructure operators refrain from using old, unsupported software; that they conduct regular penetration tests, that they don't reuse manufacturers' passwords; that they turn on multifactor authentication; and that they airgap the most critical systems. This is NERC CIP, sans the air gap, that has been around for a decade plus. End If you've made it to the end of this book review, I hope you understand where the book succeeds and fails. Who it is written for, and who it is not written for. You and I are not the intended audience. The journey is compelling; the themes are on target; and maybe we should not get too upset that the specifics go beyond reality and are taken to their most extreme possibility.

Short Review This is a book that an ICS security professional should give to friends and family to read so they know why they do what they do. Nicole guides the lay person through her compelling journey to understand the 0day market and its impact on the security of the systems we all rely on. The ICSsec pro will find it to be interesting except for the parts on ICS / critical infrastructure where it is a historical fiction ... historical incidents extrapolated to their most dire possible results rather than presented in their true context. Detailed Review This was a very difficult book to review. I'm conflicted because the story is engaging and will keep the lay person turning the pages. The 0day market through line is well told, and the theme and major points Nicole is making are clear and compelling. And yet the parts I know in detail, ICS security and critical infrastructure, are portrayed in a light that is misleading, and even deliberately misleading. Misleading because a lay reader, including government policymakers, would almost certainly conclude the US critical infrastructure at this moment is compromised and a click or two away from the Russians, or other adversaries, causing a major catastrophe. The Story ... The Positive Imagine you are trying to tell your Mom or Dad, your Husband/Wife/Partner, your close friend about cybersecurity risk and how it could affect their lives, their communities and their country or region. This is hard. If you get into the technical details you will lose them. If you try to add too much nuance (HT: RLee) you will lose them. There needs to be a captivating story that makes the non-technical audience keep reading even if they don't care about the tech. Nicole has succeeded in this area by inserting herself into the story. She is not the heroine of the story. Instead she is the observer, the Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby, who is observing the players in the 0day world who are neither pure heroes nor pure villains. She begins her journey naively at S4x13 in Miami Beach and investigates for over seven years. Never actually reaching a point of knowing the market, and yet she describes what she knows and what cannot be known. The best parts of the book are when Nicole is an active character, walking through the world and talking to the players. You feel her frustration, fear, intimidation, dread and disgust. You want her to come out the other side with some answers or even the answer. Although to her credit she does not force a solution. The ending is actually more muddled than the beginning. It makes for a less satisfying journey, and it is more accurate. Nicole's journey is the highlight of the book. The reason why you can recommend it to your Mom or Dad. It would have been even better for the lay reader had she not tried to add in the history, the details. It does not go deep into the technical details like Kim Zetter's Countdown to Zero Day, which can be viewed as a positive or negative. My view is if you are not going to push for technical accuracy, then less is better. Still the book is an interesting read as my family members can attest. The Theme I'm sympathetic with the theme that the US Government's focus on offense, in this book primarily the accumulation of 0days, has made the world more dangerous. We see this offense focus clearly and unapologeticly stated by NSA and Cyber Command across multiple leaders. The dominance of offensive theory and capabilities makes for a less stable world. My hope for any policy makers reading this book is they reject the current philosophy of "we can't defend so we need to be able to attack first and potentially cause even greater damage". Nicole repeatedly shows where US actions to buy 0days resulted in an unexpected and negative result. What is less certain is whether the 0day market was inevitable whether the US participated, or even led, in the early years. Nicole bemoans that "the cyberarms market was an incoherent mess". There were buyers and sellers reaching agreement, so it was not an incoherent mess. It was unregulated and led to undesirable outcomes in the past and likely in the future. However unless there are agreed upon cyber norms, similar to biological and chemical weapons, this was and is to be expected. The Technical ... The Negative I'm only qualified to comment on the ICS / Critical Infrastructure part of the book. My guess though is if you are part of the Vulnerability Equities Process (VEP), 0day market, Ecko Party, ... the parts of the book that discuss your area will be frustrating. I say this because anyone reading the ICS / Critical Infrastructure part of the book would come out with an incorrect understanding of the current capability of Russia and other adversaries to cause a catastrophic event using existing deployed exploits of the US critical infrastructure. There is not a lot of factual detail in the book, again good for the lay person reader, and therefore creating an errata list wouldn't be a compelling case. In the ICS area, there was one major mistake on page 297: It was an act of unprecedented digital cruelty, but the Russians stopped just short of taking lives. Six hours later, they flipped the power back on in Ukraine, just long enough to send their neighbor, and Kyiv's backers in Washington a clear message: "We can torch you". This clearly implies that the Russians stopped their attack and turned the power back on in Ukraine. What actually happened was the Ukrainians went out to the substations and manually brought them back on line and operated them manually for many months. The SCADA system was down for about a year. Nicole was right that a "clear message" was sent. This error on its own in a 400-page book would not be an issue. The issue is that every incident is presented in its worst possible light. Often not wrong by a strict parsing of the text, but misleading. A great example is Wolf Creek Nuclear plant on page 397: the Russians were inside our nuclear plants ... The code made clear that Russia's hackers had breached the most alarming target of all: Wolf Creek, the 1200 mega-watt nuclear power plant near Burlington, Kansas. This was no espionage attack. The Russians were mapping out the plant's networks for a future attack; they had already compromised the industrial engineers who maintain direct access to the reactor controls ... And the goal wasn't to stop the boom. It was to trigger one. Although she doesn't state it, this quote and the surrounding text would almost certainly be read as the Russians were in the nuclear control and safety systems. The reality is that an adversary had breached the office network at the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant, but they had not yet been able to breach the ICS that controlled the nuclear plant nor the safety systems that would need to fail to cause "the boom". Nicole wrote on page 392, "The technical community will argue I have overgeneralized and oversimplified, and indeed, some of the issues and solutions are highly technical and better left to them." When I had my interview with Nicole and wrote this review, this sentence kept running through my mind.

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald - Book 3 Title: The Great Gatsby Overview: The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan. The novel was inspired by a youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922. Following a move to the French Riviera, Fitzgerald completed a rough draft of the novel in 1924. He submitted it to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After making revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. Painter Francis Cugat's cover art greatly impressed Fitzgerald, and he incorporated aspects of it into the novel. After its publication by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received generally favorable reviews, though some literary critics believed it did not equal Fitzgerald's previous efforts. Compared to his earlier novels, Gatsby was a commercial disappointment, selling fewer than 20,000 copies by October, and Fitzgerald's hopes of a monetary windfall from the novel were unrealized. When the author died in 1940, he believed himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. During World War II, the novel experienced an abrupt surge in popularity when the Council on Books in Wartime distributed free copies to American soldiers serving overseas. This new-found popularity launched a critical and scholarly re-examination, and the work soon became a core part of most American high school curricula and a part of American popular culture. Numerous stage and film adaptations followed in the subsequent decades. Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. Contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited versus self-made wealth, race, and environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. One persistent item of criticism is an allegation of antisemitic stereotyping. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.

Health officials lay out plans to expedite vaccines to Mississippi's oldest residents.Then, the new state flag moves one step closer to becoming official as the Senate ratified the November vote. But a recent poll indicates nearly 40 of voters still believe Mississippi is heading in the wrong direction.Plus, in today's Book Club, Mississippi author, Michael Farris Smith, creates a backstory for “The Great Gatsby's” narrator, Nick CarrawaySegment 1:With a coronavirus vaccine now limitedly available, the Department of Health is expanding vaccine availability ahead of schedule to residents age 75 and older. State health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs says he wants the current allocation of vaccines to go to who needs them - especially those in the most vulnerable age groups. Segment 2:The Magnolia State is a Governor's signature away from officially having a new state flag. The Senate ratified the results of the November initiate yesterday. Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann says he wants the vote to be a stepping stone to more comprehensive solutions. But despite the state's progress in adopting a new banner, many Mississippians - nearly 40 percent - believe the state is headed in the wrong direction. That's according to the latest State of the State Poll conducted by Chism Strategies and Millsaps College. Nathan Shrader is the Chair of the Department of Government and Politics at Millsaps. In part one of his conversation with our Michael Guidry, Shrader breaks down how voters view the direction of the state, and its leadership's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.Segment 3:It's fair to say that F. Scott Fitzgerald's “The Great Gatsby,” sits high on many lists of the greatest American novels. Mississippi writer, Michael Farris Smith, says he was fascinated by the book's narrator, Nick Carraway. In his new novel, simply titled “Nick,” Farris Smith creates a back story for Carraway. He tells us he wasn't a big fan of The Great Gatsby when he first read it.

Today on The Provision Brokerage Celebrity Segment, Eric Couch and Neil Haley will interview Legendary actor Sam Waterston. Who was the real Jay Gatsby? Could the inspiration behind F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece “The Great Gatsby” be found not in Long Island, New York as has long been believed, but in Westport, Connecticut? Presented by Vision Films and Against The Grain Productions, Robert Steven Williams' Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story challenges everything literary scholars have known about the story behind the classic novel with astonishing new evidence and in-depth interviews. Featuring Sam Waterston (1974's The Great Gatsby, Law & Order, Grace and Frankie) and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Good Shepherd), Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story will be available on DVD and streaming platforms on September 1, 2020. Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story was inspired by the 1996 New Yorker article by Barbara Probst Solomon, which unveiled her theory that the West Egg in Fitzgerald's “The Great Gatsby” was not based on an actual place in Long Island, but rather Westport in Connecticut which held a special place in Scott and Zelda's hearts. With this revelation, it seems as though the question of who the real Jay Gatsby was could finally be answered and the true eccentric millionaire behind the parties is just as intriguing as Fitzgerald's hero. Williams' film has shone a light on Probst's article and with his extraordinary research and astounding discoveries has convinced and astounded Fitzgerald fans and scholars. Scott and Zelda's granddaughter, Bobbie Lanahan, who also features in the film, is included in those who have been amazed at the findings. Legendary actor Sam Waterston, who portrayed Nick Carraway in 1974's The Great Gatsby, says “This film does an excellent job of capturing an important aspect of Westport's literary history and it helps to establish the town's rightful place in Fitzgerald's legacy.” Synopsis The untold story of the summer Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald lived in Connecticut which inspired one of the world's most beloved novels: “The Great Gatsby”. Everyone knows the book, the films, and series, but who knows the truth? Track down the mystery millionaire who threw extravagant parties, uncover new evidence of the location and players, and dig deep to discover the real-life Jay Gatsby himself. “Initially I thought this was just a three-month project to document the Fitzgerald's Westport period for the local historical society,” says director, Robert Steven Williams. “But as we dug deeper, we realized how important the Westport period was to both Scott and Zelda. Along the way, we uncovered academic secrets and a lawsuit to stop the leading Fitzgerald scholar from rewriting parts of Gatsby. Most important, we were able to bring to life an overlooked period of Scott and Zelda's that had a profound impact on their lives including their art, the novels, their love.” Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story will be available on September 1, 2020, on DVD from all major online retailers and on digital for an SRP of $4.99 - $9.99 from platforms including iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, Xbox, Amazon, and FandangoNow, as well as cable affiliates everywhere. The film acts as a companion piece with the book “Boats Against The Current”, written by Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story's executive producer, Richard ‘Deej' Webb Jr. and featuring the foreword by Robert Steven Williams.

Between the glitzy parties, secret backstories and climactic murder in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby, there’s a tiny detail that readers may have missed: right before he gets in a car with antagonist Tom Buchanan—the ride that kicks off the novel’s tragic end—narrator Nick Carraway realizes he’s forgotten his own birthday.

We begin the story with Nick Carraway relating the story of moving to a rental cottage in the fictional town of West Egg Long Island NY and meeting his cousin Daisy at her palatial home in East Egg. She is unhappy with her marriage and those difficulties are evident throughout his visit for dinner.

Første januar udløber ophavsretten til THe Great Gatsby, og der er allerede en prequel klar. Den handler overraskende nok ikke om Gatsby, men om den lidt mere “kedelige” fortæller, Nick Carraway. KLub satte sig for at undersøge, hvorfor NIck er en federe karakter end Gatsby, sammen med skuespiller Benjamin Kitter, som spillede Nick Carraway i Odense Teaters store opsætning af The Great Gatsby. God fornøjelse!

Legendary actor Sam Waterston, who portrayed Nick Carraway in 1974's The Great Gatsby Today on ProVision Brokerage Celebrity Segment, Eric Couch and Neil Haley will interview Legendary actor Sam Waterston. Who was the real Jay Gatsby? Could the inspiration behind F. Scott Fitzgerald's literary masterpiece “The Great Gatsby” be found not in Long Island, New York as has long been believed, but in Westport, Connecticut? Presented by Vision Films and Against The Grain Productions, Robert Steven Williams' Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story challenges everything literary scholars have known about the story behind the classic novel with astonishing new evidence and in-depth interviews. Featuring Sam Waterston (1974's The Great Gatsby, Law & Order, Grace and Frankie) and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Good Shepherd), Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story will be available on DVD and streaming platforms on September 1, 2020. Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story was inspired by the 1996 New Yorker article by Barbara Probst Solomon, which unveiled her theory that the West Egg in Fitzgerald's “The Great Gatsby” was not based on an actual place in Long Island, but rather Westport in Connecticut which held a special place in Scott and Zelda's hearts.  

Hablemos de un hombre muy popular. Millonario, bien parecido, que tiene todo. La vida le sonríe aparentemente excepto por una cosa: el amor. Se trata de Jay Gatsby, quien busca recuperar a una enamorada del pasado, Daisy Buchanan, quien ahora está casada y en una historia narrada desde los ojos de Nick Carraway, encontramos un enigma que adquiere tintes románticos y de tragedia para que el millonario consiga lo que quiere. Un pletórico Nueva York que reflejaba un Estados Unidos en su mejor momento económico y social, aunado al enorme crecimiento del jazz. ¿Cuál ha sido la locura más grande que has hecho por conseguir algo que excesivamente anhelabas? Y esa locura, ¿te llevó a algo bueno o algo malo?

In which Nick Carraway is judgy, but we judge harder in how many boater hats to award.

Na primavera de 1922, Nick Carraway chega a Nova York e vira vizinho do misterioso e festeiro milionário Jay Gatsby quando vai viver do outro lado da baía com sua prima Daisy e seu marido mulherengo Tom Buchanan. Assim, Nick é atraído para o mundo cativante dos ricos, suas ilusões, amores e fraudes. Ao testemunhar fatos dentro e fora do mundo em que habita, Nick escreve um conto de amor impossível, sonhos e tragédias que espelham conflitos em tempos modernos.

In the last pages of The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway, F. Scott Fitzgerald's narrator, imagines North America as first seen through European eyes. For a moment, he imagines, that early sailor “must have held his breath in the presence of this continent... face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.” Central to that wonder was the land as blank slate, without history – “a fresh, green breast of the new world,” in Fitzgerald's words. Yet that story was never accurate. People have thrived in every part of the Americas for more than 10,000 years. West Texas is no exception. Diverse societies have developed, flourished and fade...

The Geneva English Drama Society perform Gatsby! 25 - 29 February 2020 at the Théâtre Pitoëff in Geneva. Directed by Christina Vasala Kokkinaki, the show brings glamour, passion, and the decadent excess of the Jazz Age to life in this adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Narrated by Nick Carraway, an aspiring banker who is dazzled by the glamorous upper-class crowd of Long Island in the 1920s, this is the tale of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby, who throws lavish parties in the hope of attracting the attention of his one love: the elusive Daisy, married to the brutish Tom Buchanan. Daire O'Doherty, Genna Ingold and Dmitry Borisov, who play Gatsby, Daisy and Nick respectively, join Katt Cullen in the WRS studios on the Mid Morning Mix.

Serial entrepreneur, Jonathan Sposato, was the first person in history to sell two companies to Google. Since then, he's become chairman of Geekwire and PicMonkey and has recently made waves in the Seattle community by announcing he will only invest in female-founded companies moving forward. Hear from Jonathan firsthand on how he’s always felt like an outsider but hasn’t let it stop him from achieving incredible success. His unique childhood and growing up as an Asian-American in a predominately white community shaped him to become, in his words, “more of a Nick Carraway than a Jay Gatsby.” Jonathan's wisdom on family, business and life in general is something everyone needs to hear.

Today we hear from Jon Lauck, a Midwestern historian and the author, most recently, of "From Warm Center to Ragged Edge: The Erosion of Midwestern Literary and Historical Regionalism." The book get its title from a line in the first chapter of "The Great Gatsby." Nick Carraway, the narrator, is a Midwesterner who’s decided to go East to New York to learn the Bond business. He’s just returned to America from World War I, and notes that, “Instead of being the warm center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe.” That’s an attitude plenty of Midwesterners seem to take to their region of birth—at least, that’s one perspective about the Midwest we often encounter in American fiction and literary criticism. Jon Lauck’s book examines this trope, one might call it a cliché; as does Marilynne Robinson, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Gilead, who says that Lauck’s book “exposes the origins of this extraordinarily potent cliché.” Robinson liked the book; so did other Midwesterners such as Tom Brokaw, who writes that his own prarie roots “roots have served me well in the intellectual and concrete canyons of the eastern seaboard and it is good to be reminded why.”

Professor Wai Chee Dimock concludes her discussion of The Great Gatsby by evaluating the cross-mapping of the auditory and visual fields in the novel’s main pairs of characters. Beginning with an analysis of the Jazz Age, she argues that linkages between what is heard and what is seen have important implications for the overarching themes of The Great Gatsby, including notions of accountability, responsibility, illusion, and disillusion. She focuses on the linked characters of Daisy and Jordan Baker, Gatsby and Nick Carraway, to show how their convergences and divergences tell the entire store of Gatsby’s decline and fall.
