The Great Gatsby has been called the "great American novel," and while these superlatives always come off as a bit ridiculous, it is a truly beautiful book. The story has epic dimensions, but real human desires at its heart, and Fitzgerald's poetic prose can be sublime.
Baz Luhrmann, the director of Romeo & Juliet and Moulin Rouge, has taken on this book, and it looks like it will be amazing. Take a look, and thanks to AA for urging me to post it:
