As new Gatsby mania grips the cinemas, a resurgence of interest in Fitzgerald's classic work is happening here at the library. No matter what you might think of the film's "gutsy" interpretation of Fitzgerald's refined fiction (I haven't seen it but the previews seem a bit garish and overblown), now is a great time to revisit (or visit) this great American novel. While copies are hard to find on the shelf at the moment, place a hold today and then try one of these titles to feed your need for Gatsby while you wait:
Rules of Civility, by Amor Towles
Netherland, by Joseph O'Neill
House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton
Bobbed Hair and Bathtub Gin, by Marion Meade
An Object of Beauty, by Steve Martin
Martin Dressler, by Steven Millhauser
