Sydney Writers’ Festival The Big Read

Sydney Writers’ Festival The Big Read title for 2009 is F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Arguably Fitzgerald's finest work, this popular classic written in 1925 is often referred to as 'the great American novel' and the quintessential portrait of the Jazz Age, in all its decadence and excess.
