The Great Gatsby Audiobook – written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, narrated by Tim Robbins

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s portrait of the Jazz Age in all its decadence and excess, is, as editor Maxwell Perkins praised it in 1924, “a wonder”. It remains one of the most widely read, translated, admired, imitated, and studied 20th-century works of American fiction.

This deceptively simple work, Fitzgerald’s best known, was hailed by critics as capturing the spirit of the generation. In Jay Gatsby, Fitzgerald embodies some of America’s strongest obsessions: wealth, power, greed, and the promise of new beginnings.

This recording includes a selection of letters written by Fitzgerald to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, his agent, Harold Ober, and friends and associates, including Willa Cather, H.L. Mencken, John Peale Bishop, and Gertrude Stein.

Ready by actor/director Tim Robbins, whose voice is catchy and enjoyable, this is a great audiobook for people who skipped English class in highschool or just want to re-connect with a distinct period of time in America.
