It’s the Roaring ’20s all over again. On January 1, thousands of novels originally published in 1925 lost their copyright status and hit the public domain, and this class included several that publishers had long been anticipating. Vintage Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, is one of many publishers to jump at the opportunity, releasing four new, but old, titles in paperback as part of its Vintage Classics line on January 5: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s
The Great Gatsby, Ernest Hemingway’s
In Our Time, John Dos Passos’s
Manhattan Transfer, and Virginia Woolf’s
