The Gatsby Code eBook just $2.99
When The Great Gatsby surges back into the news, we are reminded once again that America’s most shimmering and elusive novel still haunts the culture—class, ambition, desire, the fragile scaffolding of the American dream.
The Gatsby Code: A Century of Dreams and Disillusion by award-winning cultural historian Bob Batchelor
To celebrate the conversation (and help more readers join it), Tudor City Books has dropped the price of eBook to $2.99 on Amazon for a limited time.
If you’ve been meaning to revisit Gatsby’s world—or explore why the novel keeps gripping us a century on—now’s the moment. More than just a literary analysis or criticism, The Gatsby Code is a century-spanning cultural biography of a novel and its enigmatic protagonist. From Gatsby’s humble roots as James Gatz in North Dakota to his glittering rise and tragic fall in West Egg, Bob Batchelor decodes the psychological and sociological layers of Fitzgerald’s antihero and the America he both embraced and exposed.
Bob Batchelor has written a powerful study of The Great Gatsby and its ability to resist the erosion and forgetfulness of time...and discovers a Gatsby we had never seen before—wounded and alone. — Jerome Charyn, author of Maria La Divina, a novel of Maria Callas
