The Great Gatsby’s Controversial Journey

·  Original Title Struggles: F. Scott Fitzgerald considered several titles, including Trimalchio in West Egg, The High-Bouncing Lover, and Under the Red, White, and Blue before settling on The Great Gatsby.

Continuous Support

·  Poor Initial Reception: When it was first published in 1925, the book sold poorly—only about 20,000 copies in its first year. Fitzgerald was disappointed by its lack of success.

App Access

·  Public Domain: As of January 1, 2021, The Great Gatsby officially entered the public domain, meaning anyone can legally reproduce or adapt it.
