So We Read On - How The Great Gatsby Came to Be and Why It Endures - Maureen Corrigan
Shared by:cryotag
It’s a staple on almost every high school reading list in the country. It’s a book that has remained current for over half a century, fighting off critics and changing tastes in fiction. But do even its biggest fans know all there is to appreciate about The Great Gatsby?
Maureen Corrigan, the book critic for “Fresh Air” and a Gatsby lover extraordinaire, points out that while Gatsby may be the novel most Americans have read, it’s also the ones most of us read too soon — when we were “too young, too defensive emotionally, too ignorant about the life-deforming powers of regret” to really understand all that Fitzgerald was saying (”it’s not the green light, stupid, it’s Gatsby’s reaching for it,” as she puts it). No matter when or how recently you’ve read the novel, Corrigan offers a fresh perspective on what makes it so enduringly relevant and powerful. Drawing on her experience as a reader, lecturer, and critic, her book will be a rousing consideration of Gatsby: not just its literary achievements, but also its path to “classic” (its initial lukewarm reception has been a form of cold comfort to struggling novelists for decades), its under-acknowledged debt to hard-boiled crime fiction, its commentaries on race, class, and gender.
With rigor, wit, and an evangelistic persuasiveness, Corrigan will leave readers inspired to grab their old paperback copies of Gatsby and re-experience this great novel in an entirely new light.
