Set in the 1920’s Jazz Age on Long Island, New York’ the story is about a young man’s interactions with mysterious multi-millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby’s obsession to reunite with his former lover, a young woman named Daisy Buchanan. There have been adaptations for television and film, the most recent starring Leonardo DiCaprio. And it has been recently announced that a full-length animated version is in the works to be directed by writer-illustrator and Academy award winner Bill Joyce who lives and works in his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. I asked Joyce about why he chose “Gatsby” for this project.
