Beautiful Little Fools strips the gauzy romance from The Great Gatsby down to the bare kitchen-sink melodrama of soap opera. But if so, then Nick somehow also made them more witty and dashing. The Great Gatsby is a story about an obsessive love of a millionaire Jay Gatsby who would do anything (literally) to get another chance to be with Daisy Buchanan. Cantor’s version testifies to a truth about gender relations in 1922 to which Nick, and possibly Fitzgerald himself, was oblivious. They are also extremely dull, and indistinguishable in voice and temperament. The men in Beautiful Little Fools are all selfish brutes and the women are, if not outright saints, remarkably noble, selfless, and long-suffering. The rest of Beautiful Little Fools follows this pattern: Any situation from the original novel in which a female character might be found at fault has been carefully reworked to render her blameless and victimized. Cantor’s is by far the weaker of the two efforts. Mucke - Komedija koja prati dva brata iz londonskog naselja Peckham dok se voze i dogovaraju niz neskladnih poslova i trae veliku ideju koja ce ih uiniti milionerima. Two recent novels- The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo and Beautiful Little Fools by Jillian Cantor-retell The Great Gatsby’s story.
