The Green Light that Still Burns: Celebrating 100 Years of The Great Gatsby
This year marks the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, one of the most celebrated American novels. Set during the Jazz Age, the story itself is timeless; Fitzgerald’s exploration of ambition, class, and the disillusionment of the American Dream is still relevant today. Whether you met Gatsby through the page or through film — the 2013 adaptation starring Leonardo DiCaprio was a roaring success — one thing is clear: Gatsby’s green light still burns bright in our society. Consider celebrating with a re-read of the classic, which features an introduction by National Book Award Winner Jesmyn Ward. For those who want a cover worthy of a Gatsby party, pick up our Penguin edition, with an introduction by Pachinko author Min Jin Lee. And for those of us looking for retellings, look no further, old sport.
