Newly minted millionaires, corruption, nostalgia ... Fitzgerald’s novel has never felt more relevant. Jane Crowther explores its resonance in popular culture from Taylor Swift songs to her own gender-flipped retelling
It’s now considered a masterpiece, but when The Great Gatsby was published a century ago the response was mixed, with one critic writing: “I don’t even know whether it is fully intelligible to anyone who has not had glimpses of the kind of life it depicts.” Back then, this life – which Fitzgerald had been living – was a gilded world reserved for the rich and well connected. His narrator, Nick Carraway, attends his nouveau riche neighbour’s glittering gatherings in the summer of 1922, a time when many US families were living in poverty.
It was only when pocket-sized paperbacks of the book were given to US servicemen during the second world war (courtesy of the nonprofit Council On Books in Wartime) that The Great Gatsby became a hit. Perhaps the young men, far from their ordinary lives and pining for the girls they’d wooed in simpler times, connected with Gatsby (a figure left deliberately obscure by Fitzgerald so that any reader could imprint their own dreams on to him). As the war came to an end, maybe they saw themselves in Nick, the first world war returnee and observer who doesn’t entirely fit into any of the social situations in which he finds himself.
Six years ago, LVMH's billionaire CEO Bernard Arnault and President Donald Trump cut the blue ribbon on a factory in rural Texas that would make designer handbags for Louis Vuitton, one of the world’s best-known luxury brands.

President instructs Department of Justice to ‘stop the enforcement’ of state climate laws, calling out New York and Vermont’s ‘climate superfund’ laws
The US defence secretary has floated the idea of the country’s troops returning to Panama to “secure” its strategically vital canal, a suggestion quickly shot down by the Central American country’s government.
Pete Hegseth suggested during a visit to Panama that “by invitation” the US could “revive” military bases or naval air stations and rotate deployments of its troops to an isthmus the US invaded 35 years ago.
They were artistic trailblazers, bringing modernism to the then deeply conservative country. But Evie Hone and Mainie Jellett faced huge hostility. Now a thrilling new show is celebrating their brilliance – and determination
Two oils on canvas hang together, strikingly similar, in the first room of the National Gallery of Ireland’s new show. Both titled Composition, they date from 1924 and 1925. They’re cubist still lifes, with the regular, geometric patterns and contrasting colour schemes favoured by many early 20th-century modernists, Marcel Duchamp and Juan Gris among them.
The paintings are clearly by the same hand. Except they’re not. The 1924 work, featuring what might be a fried egg, or might be an easel, is by Evie Hone; the piece from the following year, centred on a chessboard, is by her best friend, Mainie Jellett. These two women, virtually unknown outside their homeland, and not well-known even there, revolutionised art in Ireland by introducing modernism.
Trump’s order will return showerhead water flow standards to the 2.5-gallons-per-minute rule that had been in place since 1992, according to the White House.
Claims by four women are filed at high court, including of rape, coercive control and assault and battery
Andrew Tate told a woman he was “debating whether to rape you or not” before he strangled and forced himself upon her, according to one of four women suing the self-proclaimed misogynistic influencer.
He is also accused of whispering “good girl” as he raped a woman he employed at his webcam business whom he had separately threatened with a gun, and strangling another so often that she developed spots from burst capillaries around her eyes.
(Method 808) The Londoner has alighted on a sophisticated, high-tempo hybrid of footwork and jungle – and seems to suggest a better way of living
Like turning up the radio to drown out the sound of a jackhammer, a lot of the dance music that is resonating right now is fast, loud and high-intensity, as if to distract from … well, everything. UK ravers in particular are reaching for speed garage (Salute, Sammy Virji), cheerily high-tempo pop-trance (DJ Heartstring, Kettama) or doof-centric hard dance (Hannah Laing) to crowd out the horror.
The fastest and most relentless of them all is Sherelle, the 31-year-old Londoner who can reliably be found DJing at the most twilit hours of festival season and the clubbing underground. She’s like the bus from Speed, always keeping above 140bpm (and generally about 160) with steely determination as she swerves between footwork, jungle and garage. After her legendary 2019 Boiler Room livestream, Sherelle goading the crowd with arms stretched wide as she delivered titanic bass-drops, she’s become a reliable defibrillator of vibes at any club night – but she also has a keen eye for the utopian potential of this joyous pandemonium. Her low-priced shows seek to quell the stress of the cost of living crisis – tickets for her current UK tour cost just £10 – and she founded Beautiful, a project that nurtures Black and queer artists with studio time, label releases and more.
John Todd’s eco-machine stunned experts by using natural organisms to remove toxic waste from a Cape Cod lagoon. Forty years on, he wants to build a fleet of them to clean up the oceans
John Todd remembers the moment he knew he was really on to something: “There was no question that it was at the Harwich dump in 1986,” he recalls. This was in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, close to where Todd still lives. Hidden away from the picturesque beaches was the town landfill, including lagoons of toxic waste from septic tanks, which was being left to seep into the groundwater below. So Todd, then a 45-year-old biologist, decided to design a solution. What he was “on to”, he came to realise, was not just a natural way of removing pollution from water, it was a holistic approach to environmental restoration that was way ahead of its time, and possibly still is.

The 40-year-old shopping network has a brand-new stream on the app – so how does it compare?
I’m watching a woman standing in her living room in front of a table stacked with woven faux-leather fanny packs. She’s convincing me to use the next two minutes to score a deal on a bag I definitely do not need. A countdown clock ticks down in the corner screen. It’s a classic QVC scene, but instead of watching TV, I’m on TikTok.
For nearly 40 years, the QVC shopping channel has shown frizzy-haired, middle-aged women hawking clunky charm jewelry and bath towels. During the network’s peak in the 1990s and early 2000s, it was must-watch television for stay-at-home moms and bargain hunters. (An ageing Marlon Brando reportedly sought – and was denied – a hosting gig in the early aughts.)

Camilla Hempleman-Adams, who says she is first woman to traverse Canada’s Baffin Island solo, accused of ‘privilege and ignorance’
A British adventurer has apologised after her claims to be the first woman to traverse Canada’s largest island solo were dismissed by members of the Inuit population who criticised her dangerous “privilege and ignorance”.
Camilla Hempleman-Adams, 32, covered 150 miles (240km) on foot and by ski while pulling a sledge across Baffin Island, Nunavut, in temperatures as low as -40C and winds of 47mph during the two-week expedition last month.
As demand for smartphones, laptops and electric vehicles has soared, so has demand for the minerals - such as cobalt and coltan - for the batteries that power them. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has vast reserves of these minerals, and their extraction is fuelling the country's civil war.
