In the second of two episodes about reinterpretations of The Great Gatsby, my guest, Michael Coyle, and I discuss The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo, in which Daisy Buchanan’s golf star friend Jordan Baker narrates a dark, fantastical and politically-charged version of the same events that Nick Carraway tells in Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel.

In Novel RomAntics Episode #7 I talk with my longtime friend, Michael Coyle, who is Professor of English at Colgate University and also a jazz deejay, about No One Is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts. It’s the first of two episodes in which Michael and I discuss novels that reinterpret The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, so check out next month’s episode, too, for a different approach, if that’s your kind of thing.

After a brief summer break, the Novel RomAntics Podcast is back. This episode I spoke with my good friend, Professor Robert Eaglestone, about Willy Vlautin’s new novel, The Night Always Comes. Willy Vlautin is an excellent novelist, and also an excellent songwriter, and we touched on that a little, in addition to talking about how he excavates and narrates the lived consequences of the economic recession.
