Reviews
"Coaxing us aboard her narrative Tilt-A-Whirl, Corrigan spins us from topic to topic and back again, each revolution both reminding and enriching." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer, "A literary loveletter... [Corrigan's] tone is lively and bright and her enthusiasm for the novelis infectious. You'll feel as if you're attending a lecture by your favoriteprof or chatting with a brainy, bookish friend. Bursting with intellectualenergy and fun facts, this paean to the 'great American novel will appeal tofans of Corrigan's book critiques and Jazz Age scholars, and will, one hopes,impel readers to pick up the brief work for the first (or fourth, or 14th)time."-- Library Journal (Starred Review), " So We Read On is a marvelous mix of the high and the low: solid literary criticism delivered in a user-friendly manner, coupled with the back story of the book's creation, replete with the sordid details of Scott (and Zelda) Fitzgerald's sad, unfulfilled promise."-- BookPage, Praise for LEAVE ME ALONE, I'M READING: "Corrigan's eclectic taste and skillful assessment of new writers as well as those long dead are particularly astute."-- USA TODAY, "Too genuine and moving to be resisted...[a] generous spirit warms every page of So We Read On ."-- The Boston Globe, "Maureen Corrigan has produced a minor miracle: a book about The Great Gatsby that stands up to Gatsby itself."-- Michael Cunningham, "We have to be thankful to Maureen Corrigan for letting us in on her intriguing love affairs with great books, as in this wonderful account of her grand passion for The Great Gatsby. She reminds us that perhaps one true promise of that elusive green light at the end of the dock resides in our creative imagination, and the intimate relationship between a book and its reader."-- Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran and The Republic of Imagination, "So We Read On is a fine book on many levels, almost too many to list. This book is a love story about a book. It's an expression of love for one of the most lyrical and engaging and prescient novels in the English language. Maureen Corrigan writes not only with passion about her subject, she writes with an understanding of America and the elusive goal represented by the green light on Daisy's dock."-- James Lee Burke, "Corrigan's research was as intrepid as her analysis is ardent and expert, and she brings fact, thought, feelings, and personal experiences together in a buoyant, illuminating, and affecting narrative about one depthless novel, the transforming art of reading, and the endless tides that tumble together life and literature."-- Booklist (Starred Review), "Second only to the pleasure of re-reading Gatsby is the pleasure of talking to someone about it, and Maureen Corrigan is the ultimate someone: boundlessly erudite, blazingly funny, and infectiously passionate. . . . As with the book that inspired it, my only complaint about So We Read On is that it comes to an end."-- Susan Choi, author of My Education, "As pleasurable to read as Fitzgerald's. ... It'ssmart and compelling, persuasive without demeaning other interpretations...agorgeous treat."-- The Washington Post, "An intoxicating cocktail of talent, celebrity, gangster noir, and the vicissitudes of reputation that create a classic."-- Ron Rosenbaum, author of The Shakespeare Wars, "No one is better at bringing a book to life than Maureen Corrigan. Her vividly personal evocation of Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby is at once a labor of love, the story of a quest, and a mother lode of information and insight. As a biography of a novel, it reads like a novel."-- Morris Dickstein, author of Gates of Eden and Dancing in the Dark, "NPR's resident Fitzgerald aficionado delivers the college seminar we all wish we'd taken." -- O, The Oprah Magazine

Synopsis
The "Fresh Air" book critic investigates the enduring power of The Great Gatsby -- "The Great American Novel we all think we've read, but really haven't." Conceived nearly a century ago by a man who died believing himself a failure, it's now a revered classic and a rite of passage in the reading lives of millions. But how well do we really know The Great Gatsby ? As Maureen Corrigan, Gatsby lover extraordinaire, points out, while Fitzgerald's masterpiece may be one of the most popular novels in America, many of us first read it when we were too young to fully comprehend its power. Offering a fresh perspective on what makes Gatsby great -- and utterly unusual -- So We Read On takes us into archives, high school classrooms, and even out onto the Long Island Sound to explore the novel's hidden depths, a journey whose revelations include Gatsby 's surprising debt to hard-boiled crime fiction, its rocky path to recognition as a "classic," and its profound commentaries on the national themes of race, class, and gender. With rigor, wit, and infectious enthusiasm, Corrigan inspires us to re-experience the greatness of Gatsby and cuts to the heart of why we are, as a culture, "borne back ceaselessly" into its thrall. Along the way, she spins a new and fascinating story of her own., "Maureen Corrigan has produced a minor miracle: a book about The Great Gatsby that stands up to Gatsby itself" --Michael Cunningham. It's a revered classic and a rite of passage in the reading lives of millions. But how well do we really know The Great Gatsby? As "Fresh Air" book critic Maureen Corrigan points out, many of us first read Fitzgerald's masterpiece when we were too young to comprehend its power.

With rigor, wit, and infectious enthusiasm, Corrigan inspires us to re-experience Gatsby and, along the way, spins a fascinating story of her own.Maureen Corrigan is the book critic for NPR's "Fresh Air," the Critic-in-Residence at Georgetown University, and winner of the Edgar Award for Criticism. She is the author of Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading (Random House, 2005).

    The DVD was just as described, carefully packaged, delivered on time, and it only cost about $9 (an excellent price for a somewhat-hard-to-find film). My personal thanks to the seller, as this was intended as a gift for a close friend.

    Great companion to The Great Gatsby

    The author is a compelling storyteller, who gives much more depth to the characters than we would normally find for ourselves. She loves Fitzgerald.

    Fantastic read

    Great book. If you’re interested in American Modernism and its relation to Fitzgerald give it a read.
