F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Orson Welles's Citizen
Kane have been renowned for capturing the contradictory features of
the American dream through their authentic and fascinating stories
of two legendary fictitious American citizens. However, few studies
have commented on how similar reporting techniques bridge the
genre-specific differences of two of the most iconic pieces of 20th
century American literature and cinematography. This book is the
first of its kind: It offers a comparative analysis of the
reporting techniques on the American dream, unfolding complex
semiotic structures. The book casts light on the interplay between
the three levels of reporting and the detective-style quest for the
personality of Jay Gatsby and Charlie Kane, analyzing the ways the
reporters' attitudes and twists of time and space manipulate the
perception of the audience. The book can be as useful for scholars
in American literature and cinematography as for psychologists and
communications professionals, who might feel challenged to observe
complex human interactions, while creating the missing pieces of
the highly fragmented puzzle in The Great Gatsby's and Citizen
Kane's storylines.
