He found my positive review of The Great Gatsby, and he said, of course you like a book with a...

the great Gatsby of it all, the comment about his boner

I used to be reading The Great Gatsby given my opinion.

Does Matt know who wrote the Great Gatsby? F. Scott Fitzgerald?

I didn't know. I'm just gonna be totally honest.

Republicans also pushed legislation that would have banned books like Maya Angelou's book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, or George Orwell's 1984, or F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.

the great Gatsby was trying to be seen in the full dimension of who he is.

the great depression, the great recession, the great resignation, the great Gatsby. I mean like the dude got shot in a swimming pool like a little bitch. What's great about that?

On the very night Snap Benefits ended, Trump threw a Great Gatsby-themed ode to decadence and hedonism that even Jeffrey Epstein would have thought was a little over the top.

Did you even read The Great Gatsby? I only read the Cliff Notes.

The Great Gatsby is a cautionary tale. And it's the theme for your- What did you just think? Oh, it's a great book about a rich guy who bangs married ladies. No! Partially, yes, but the-

The Great Gatsby was published on April 10, 1925, which makes this Thursday its 100th anniversary. Our book critic Maureen Corrigan is one of the many people who think it's the great American novel.

The Great Gatsby possesses all the iridescence of the beginning of the world... It's the great American novel about class.

The novel was largely forgotten at the time of his death ... unsold copies of the first edition of Gatsby were still gathering dust in Scribner's warehouse.

The Great Gatsby to The Devil Wears Prada.

Another song here is called Gatsby, as in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and Indigueo Cello sings in the voice of Jay Gatsby ... she took up Fitzgerald's book ...

Great Gatsby is 180 pages of perfection.

In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths amid the whispers, the champagne and the stars.

I can't, I read that and say, that's why I am not a novelist. Yes. And he is.

Yeah, in fact, he has one of the most brilliant sentences I've ever read in my life.

You ready? Go ahead. Okay, it's from The Great Gatsby.

All right. Okay, you remember it's a big party There's a lot of like, you know sex drugs and rock. Oh, yeah. Okay roaring 20s roaring 20s, right? Here it goes in his blue gardens men and girls Came and went like moths Amid the champagne the whispers and the stars

That's a great line.

I'm done. I can't that is it is not possible for that sentence to come out of me.

A sentence from The Great Gatsby This is a sentence where I knew I still have not become a great writer And maybe never will Oh, wow Okay, I have to hear this now In his blue gardens Men and girls came and went like moths Amid the whispers, the champagne and the stars That's a great sentence

Great Gatsby. I just think that you had to be married.

The initials of the author F.S.F.

The Great Gatsby

They don't get it which by the way, it's which is another book that is very similar to the Harry and Meghan situation It's called like don't don't be simpin right to Gatsby was This is like your favorite.

So he's And what is it? Mabel the girl Mabel no in Gatsby. Oh, I forget her name. I forget her name

But so he's great. So rather than go and find some Zelda rather than go and find some other girl He's got a completely changed his entire identity He's got a by-manchin directly across the bay from hers

He's got to and then eventually he holds these parties to try to get her in but but no the professor says That's not good enough because I won't teach it as as as the dangers of simping no no no no no

It's we're gonna make Gatsby black and teach it this way which totally changes the novel has nothing to do with what the story was And sets it up in a complete different way

They literally will fly across the Atlantic just to have dinner at their one favorite place in Paris and then fly back. Like they say in The Great Gatsby, they're different than you and me.

So many recommendations like Great Gatsby, Moby Dick, Catcher in the Rye.

You have the outsiders, great Gatsby, the notebook, water for elephants of those four.

So there are a lot of critics saying we should really shorten this period

So he wasn't really incentivized to write another great Gatsby from 1940 to 2021 because that dude was in his grave

But the great Gatsby didn't enter the public domain until 2021

nano rhyme is shorthand for National Novel Writing Month an organization that challenges wannabe writers to write 50,000 words of a novel about the length of the Great Gatsby in the month of November

F. Scott Fitzgerald said the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

The Great Gatsby came into the public domain at the start of this year, meaning it's now free for anyone to use, reuse and build upon without having to pay a fee.

Already novelist Michael Faris Smith has published Nick, a prequel focus on the book's narrator.

And online, many are calling for the tale of class ambition and the American dream to be recreated using Muppets in the style of the Muppets Christmas Carol.

I think a Christmas Carol is a little dark for kids. So like Muppeting it up is like helpful. So maybe the same could be done for like crime and punishment.

I think Baz Luhrmann has remixed everything to the furthest extent. Like anytime he touches something, that's as far as it's allowed to go.

And enduring literature like F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby...if you read it in high school but have forgotten, or if you've never read it, we get right to the major themes of it and why it's still relevant today.

But it's a very dark novel. And part of what makes it so great is the way that the darkness in it gives gravitas to what otherwise would be superficial party scenes.

But what makes Gatsby so great is that what Fitzgerald did was he suspended two things together. . . Basically, it's about the tension between America's illusions and its realities.

So if you ask me the question of why does Gatsby endure, Gatsby captures that constant need to reinvent our own idealism, to try to keep striving, to try to keep pushing forward.

But at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, all the opulence of the Roaring Twenties was on full display with President Trump hosting a Great Gatsby themed party. We will dig into that parallel.

This great Gatsby themed party at Mar-a-Lago. I'm going to hazard a guess that President Trump hasn't read the book.

A few months ago I read the great Gatsby. It is such a good book. I would really recommend that you read it.

without spoiling the storyline for you, I will tell you that in this book or movie, if you decide to watch the movie instead, there are some extravagant parties. I mean, just gorgeous parties.

At the end of reading the book, I found myself craving a party.

in the book parties seem perfect. The parties in this book are held at the most beautiful house. There are the most amazing people there, all different types of people there. The music is great. Everybody who goes to these parties has the best time or majority of the people there have the best time.

I don't know who that is. She wrote Great Gatsby, right?

I love her in Great Gatsby. Love that queen.

Wrote herself into Great Gatsby, actually.

She was like Stephanie Meyer in Twilight. She did a little cameo.

But then I've like I like never read The Great Gatsby Because that's like A high school book

In 1925, Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby, a critique of the American dream and the decade's most emblematic novel.

I should also mention that it was the end of a brutal slaughter known as World War I. And this decade, the 1920s, pretty much began with the red summer of 1919, certainly a fearful time. Explain what that was and how it might have influenced the context of the Scopes trial. Well, sure. In 1919 alone, there were bomb scares and actually bombs that were exploded. Attorney General Mitchell Palmer, who is famous, comes down to us as the head of the so-called Palmer raids. This was the time of the Red Scare, and people were afraid of Reds, namely communists. And as a result, there were numbers of socialists and communists and even pacifists who were rounded up and deported. That's something that's going on in the background of the Scopes trial. And in a sense, the Scopes trial is a funnel for all the fear, all the anxiety, all the changes, all in a sense, the kind of frenetic hilarity of the decade.
