Books by F. Scott Fitzgerald mentioned on podcasts
F. Scott Fitzgerald and his classic novel The Great Gatsby have frequently surfaced in discussions across various podcasts. On an episode of How I Write, David Perell discussed reading the book alongside watching multiple film adaptations and a play to explore how different interpretations approach a classic text. The Daily Stoic featured a conversation where Ryan Holiday and guest Ed Helms compared the practice of buying books by the foot for decoration to a library scene from The Great Gatsby, joking that it had little to do with actually reading the book. Michael Dean also mentioned the novel on How I Write, citing Hunter S. Thompson's rigorous transcription of The Great Gatsby word-for-word as an extreme method for internalizing the fundamentals of writing a great novel. On Honestly with Bari Weiss, the host pointed out that a guest's book took both its title and epigraph directly from Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Behind the Bastards featured the host expressing dismay that younger generations are missing out on reading high school staples like The Great Gatsby. Separately, The Jordan Harbinger Show focused on a different Fitzgerald work, This Side of Paradise, with the host and guest reflecting on how rereading the novel provided a profound and pervasive new perspective on society, though the commentary on birth control attributed in the transcript appears somewhat misaligned with the traditional plot of that specific text.
