{"product_id":"great-gatsby-and-modern-times","title":"Great Gatsby and Modern Times","description":"\"A stunning piece of\nwork. If Fitzgerald could have wished for one reader of The Great Gatsby,\nit would have been Ronald Berman. Berman's criticism creates an ideal\ncompanion piece to the novel--as brilliantly illuminating about America\nas it is about fiction, and composed with as much thought and style.\"\n\n-- Roger Rosenblatt\n\"An impressive study\nthat brilliantly highlights the oneness of Fitzgerald's art with the overall\ncontext of modernism.\" -- Milton R. Stern, author of The Golden\nMoment: The Novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald\n\"Citing films, dates,\nplaces, schedules, Broadway newsstands, and the spoils of manufacture,\nthe author, never lapsing into critical jargon, locates the characters\nin 'the moving present.' Gatsby, the first of the great novels\nto emerge from B movies, uses the language of commodities, advertisements,\nphotography, cinematography, and Horatio Alger to present models of identity\nfor characters absorbed in and by what is communicated. . . . Berman concludes\nthat Gatsby 'reassembled' rather than 'invented' himself.\"\n-- A.
