“You must know Gatsby.” Claudia Michelsen, Axel Milberg and Bernhard Robben on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece
The story of phenomenally rich Jay Gatsby and beautifully smug Daisy Buchanan takes place in a time when “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession” (New York Times). In his 1925 masterpiece, F. Scott Fitzgerald paints an unforgiving portrait of the disillusioned US upper class. Fueled by the magic of the Roaring Twenties, the book combines lyrical beauty and brutal realism. Now considered the “Great American Novel” of the 20th century, the book was not immediately well received: Fitzgerald died in 1940 believing that The Great Gatsby was a veritable flop. It was not until after World War II that the book was rediscovered and took its place in US pop culture. 100 years after its publication, Axel Milberg, Claudia Michelsen and Bernhard Robben are rolling out the red carpet for this novel, telling the story of Great Gatsby and his creator through letters and contemporary documents.
