“‘Gatsby?’ demanded Daisy. ‘What Gatsby?’” Like Daisy, we all know what Gatsby, but that doesn’t stop us from finding out anew each time we read F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece. The test of timelessness in literature is not just inter-generational freshness but also whether a book can be reread over and over again. “The Great Gatsby” passes both tests with colours that fly off the page like notes off sheet music. And yet, perhaps the true test of a great novel is that nothing can do it justice but the novel itself.

Only that hope which shines atop every podcast recording, only that green light.
