We read The Great Gatsby in English class. Later, Christina and I watched the movie together in 1974. The 100th anniversary of the novel is this year - that went fast!
We watched the DiCaprio version of Gatsby - just a kid!
I found a good video about the literature experts fighting over the F. Scott Fitzgerald story and the facts behind writing the novel. That is another layer of Gatsby - a spooky parallel to the so-called Biblical scholars who know everything except the actual text.
Novels are not interesting to me anymore. I opened Moby Dick recently and thought, "I cannot read this!"
