Clock: The Swiss drama “My little sister” about a sibling’s cancer diagnosis in the end-stage. Our reviewer describes it as “big and small in heart”.
To sing: A sailor’s song. In the past two weeks, a TikTok video of a Scottish postman singing a whaling ballad has been duetted thousands of times by professional musicians, maritime enthusiasts and a puppet from Kermit the Frog, among others.
Make the most of this weekend indoors. At Home offers a comprehensive collection of ideas on what to read, cook, see, and do while staying safe at home.
And now for the background story about …
“The Great Gatsby”, freed from the bindings of copyright
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel “The Great Gatsby” is now in the public domain, which means that writers can dismantle the characters and plot for their own purposes without asking for permission or paying a fee.
The book has already been converted into a graphic novel, while independently published variations of the novel include “The Gay Gatsby” by BA Baker and the zombie-themed “The Great Gatsby Undead” by Kristen Briggs. (From the promotional copy for Briggs’ book, “Gatsby doesn’t seem to be eating and dislikes silver, garlic, and the sun, but good friends are hard to make.”)
The most ambitious early entry might be “Nick,” a Michael Farris Smith novel that focuses on the life of Nick Carraway, Fitzgerald’s narrator, before arriving on Long Island and entering Gatsby’s orbit.
All of this follows several films, theatrical adaptations, and other retelling. Gatsby inspired a Taylor Swift song – “Happiness” on her latest record interweaves lines and images from the novel. And even the smallest characters had spin-offs – Pammie, 3 years old in Fitzgerald’s book, told her own story in “Daisy Buchanan’s Daughter” by Tom Carson.
