The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald has, in many ways, a love-hate relationship with American audiences. While many readers elevate Gatsby as a quintessential American novel, others criticize the novel for its lack of plot and choppy prose. Maureen Corrigan reflects on her perception of the novel as a high school student versus a literary critic, as well as the success the novel had during Fitzgerald’s life versus after his death in her podcast, How ‘Gatsby’ Went From A Moldering Flop to A Great American Novel.
