'Where are they now, those flappers, male and female, whose problem never was hunger or lack of a job, or rather luxurious comforts, but just a yearning and churning such as every youth is troubled by, but in their great self-pity thought all this was something new?' Westbrook Pegler


“BOSCUTTI’S GREAT GATSBY” (film treatment)

It seems like Stefano Boscutti has been trying to do a film adaption of Fitzgerald’s novel all his life.

Despite his enthusiasm (or perhaps because of it) he just cannot seem to make any producer or distributor understand that it’s not about Jay Gatsby. It’s not about the glamor. It’s about love and loss.

The hero is Nick Carraway, the narrator, the writer. It’s his story. Gatsby is the illusion that America will become. And the green light at the end of the dock? That’s what America will never be.
