F. Scott Fitzgerald published the The Great Gatsby in 1925, but his story of the eccentric millionaire Jay Gatsby is as captivating as ever. A movie adaptation is due out next summer (you can watch the trailer below). A musical version just opened in London, and an eight-hour reading of the novel got rave reviews in New York. There's even a Great Gatsby makeup line in the works. But what accounts for its enduring popularity? And why, in particular, is 2012 the Year of the Gatsby?
May be this is a story about human possibility.
"The novel is very much pointing out to us that the American Dream is already a lie by the early 20th century and it continues to be that"
