THE GREAT GATSBY

Nicki Greenberg

A brilliant, innovative graphic novel adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic by one of Australia's most original creators.
Nicki Greenberg's adaptation of The Great Gatsby is breathtaking – a wonderful homage to F. Scott Fitzgerald's jazz-age classic that brings to life the glitter, the melancholy and the grand and crumpled dreams of Fitzgerald's unforgettable characters. In the exquisitely realised setting of 1920s New York, a throng of fantastical creatures play out the drama, wry humour and tragedy of the novel. Nicki Greenberg has been reading, writing and drawing with a passion ever since she can remember and she was first published at the age of 15. In her late teens Nicki discovered the medium that changed her life, comics, which opened up a new way of telling stories for her. Her graphic adaptation of The Great Gatsby, painstakingly constructed over six years, brings together Nicki’s passion for literature and her love of sequential art.

Bizarre, absorbing and very funny... a bold idea that works to great effect.

Greenberg's delicate, expressive artwork, deft period re-creation and precise, sympathetic storytelling capture the novel’s glittering surface and melancholic undertow.

Greenberg's The Great Gatsby is a pure delight... it's a work of art; every page is beautiful.
