Jane Crowther

Modern Day Gatsby

Description

One hundred years after the publication of The Great Gatsby, author Jane Crowther brings a bold, glittering twist to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic tale. In this sharp, stylish reimagining, the story is gender-flipped and thrust into the heart of the 21st century where ambition, obsession, class inequality, and curated online lives collide. 

Join Crowther for a conversation about her scandalous, glamorous summer novel and how it speaks to the enduring power, and startling modernity, of Fitzgerald’s original.  

From Jazz Age parties to Instagram-perfect illusions, this is Gatsby as you’ve never seen it before.
