Daisy-Great Gatsby

Centennial Edition

Beschreibung

One hundred years ago, F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby, capturing the glamour and illusions of the Jazz Age while exposing its hidden cracks. To mark this centennial, Bancroft Press pairs Fitzgerald's iconic novel with Libby Sternberg's Daisy, a critically acclaimed retelling from Daisy Buchanan's own perspective. For decades, Daisy has been defined by Gatsby's longing and Nick Carraway's detached observations--but who was she, truly? This dual edition invites readers to rediscover Gatsby's world, exploring timeless themes of identity, agency, and societal expectations.

Autor

Libby Sternberg is an award-winning novelist and literary scholar whose work reimagines classic stories with depth and originality. An Edgar finalist and twice a BookLife quarter-finalist, Sternberg has crafted a distinguished career in historical and literary fiction. Her novel Daisy, a feminist retelling of The Great Gatsby, has been hailed as "original and charming" (Booklist) and "stunning and beautifully crafted" (Reedsy Discovery). Recognized as an authority on Fitzgerald's work, Sternberg has immersed herself in his writings, from Trimalchio to The Crack-Up, producing thoughtful analyses and inventive interpretations. Her previous retelling, Sloane Hall, was one of only 14 books highlighted by HuffPost on the 200th anniversary of Jane Eyre. With a keen eye for historical nuance and a gift for narrative reinvention, Sternberg's work bridges the past and present, giving voice to characters too often overlooked. She lives in Lancaster, PA, with her husband, Matthew.
