In Part 2 of our conversation with Anne Margaret Daniel, we break down common misconceptions about The Great Gatsby and dig in to what it is about the novel that draws readers (and Hollywood) in and keeps us coming back. 

Anne Margaret Daniel is the editor of the Norton Library edition of The Great Gatsby and teaches literature at The New School University in New York City. She is also the editor of I’d Die For You and Other Lost Stories, Fitzgerald’s last previously unpublished short stories, and of the forthcoming selected letters of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald.
 
The Norton Library edition of The Great Gatsby  features the complete text of the first 1925 edition, along with a selection of earlier short stories by Fitzgerald. To learn more or purchase a copy, go to https://seagull.wwnorton.com/gatsby.
