This year marks 100 years since F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby was first published. And it turns out that it took a while for the novel to catch on in the United States, where it is now considered a classic.
This hour, we revisit the novel and its cultural impact.
GUESTS:
- Rob Kyff: Teacher and author of Gatsby’s Secrets. He also writes a nationally syndicated column on language
- Maureen Corrigan: Book critic for NPR's Fresh Air, and a Distinguished Professor of the Practice in Literary Criticism at Georgetown University. She is the author of So We Read On: How The Great Gatsby Came To Be and Why It Endures
- Sara Chase: Actress who created the role of Myrtle Wilson in the Broadway production of The Great Gatsby
