It's the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby and I finally needed to read Fitzgerald's masterpiece. What a whirlwind. For such a short book, I had to keep circling back to make sure I had all the pieces straight. Fitzgerald's writing is beautiful, and the tawdry story of Gatsby, Nick, Daisy, Tom and Jordan is engrossing and depressing, but in the way good work can make you think. I read an article that said: The Great Gatsby is a classic of illusions and delusions. I agree.
