America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Happy centennial to The Great Gatsby. Here's a piece I wrote about it and a book about it awhile back, and some of the prevailing cultural myths that still float in the wake of its dreams.

"The Great Gatsby" was published 100 years ago today. Charles Schulz came back to it numerous times in "Peanuts," including in this strip from June 26, 1995, my favorite in the last decade of "Peanuts," so spare and melancholy and strange.

The Great Gatsby” turns 100: Initially a sales flop, now regarded as the “great American novel
When F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "The Great Gatsby" at the height of the roaring '20s, he couldn't possibly realize that the book would emerge as one of the very top contenders for "the great American novel." In fact, when Fitzgerald – a St. Paul, Minnesota native whose debut novel "This Side of Paradise" launched him into national prominence at the age of 24 – died in 1940 at the early age of 44, the book was already in danger of falling into obscurity.

“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?
