Jay Gatsby, the mythic social climber of F. Scott Fitzgerald's
celebrated The Great Gatsby, has attained new status. A panel of
writers, actors and critics named him the 20th century's greatest
literary character.
Finishing second is Holden Caulfield, the quintessential whiner from J.
D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, followed by Humbert Humbert, the
licentious intellectual of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. Others in the top
10 include Leopold and Molly Bloom of James Joyce's Ulysses and Atticus
Finch of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The full list appears in
the March/April edition of Book magazine.
The judges included Canadian author Michael Ondaatje as well as writer
Michael Chabon and Andrea Barrett and actors Rod Steiger, Griffin Dunne
and Dennis Farina.
