The Great Gatsby The Original 1925 Edition (Booklover's Library Classics)

You have to imagine this kind of imposing Tudor-style grand home on a cliff overlooking Gloucester Harbor, literally built by a diamond mining tycoon in the year 1900. Something like the Great Gatsby.

I like that image of the green light across the water in The Great Gatsby.

He wrote me a letter from his jail cell that I got just recently in which he claimed that his entire career in America was based on a novel he read when he was 10 about somebody who came up in society through fraudulence. I think that might have been the great Gatsby.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, describes the story of a man who desperately tried to climb the social ladder.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter. Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther and one fine morning. So we beat on, boats against the current, born back ceaselessly into the past.

Like that's literally they're the same guy. Lothrop Stoddard is the same kind of like public intellectual.

If you've read The Great Gatsby in high school, right, you've probably run across references to Stoddard's work.

Tom Buchanan, the male antagonist in the book and prototypical chud, tells the narrator at one point, quote, civilization's going to pieces.

Like the quintessential example from my life is that when I was a teenager, I hated the Great Gatsby. I thought it was...

I wrote a paper that I still have, that I should destroy before I die, but I wrote a paper that I still have in which I called the Great Gatsby a bunch of rich Yankees with Yankee problems.

And like the lack of understanding in that characterization of the Great Gatsby is a reminder that like one star Goodreads reviews are not necessarily reflective of the quality of a work.

Fitzgerald describes this in The Great Gatsby, it's just this nightmarish wasteland.

Well, you had to. What was yours? The Great Gatsby. Oh my God. I would be like, oh, I'd say I like reading autobiographies by like Chelsea Handler and Mindy Kaling and Tina Fey.
