  • This is another book I read in high school and in college. Fitzgerald is the epitome of the 20th Century American writer.

The Great Gatsby celebrates a "heightened sensibility to the promises of life," an American capacity for hope that remains unsullied even by the falsity of what it pursues. Feel the texture of Fitzgerald's language as master reader Alexander Scourby, with cool precision, unfolds the mystery of Jay Gatsby. Gatsby embodies the nave American notion that it is possible to invent oneself and persuade the world to accept that definition. The novel that epitomizes the glamour and recklessness, promise and despair of the Jazz Age is a true classic of American literature. Complete and unabridged. 3 cassettes.
