It’s really looking like I’m turning into a Classics junkie. While lots of people busy themselves chasing after the next new thing, here I am busy unearthing past treasures. And though this process involves torturing myself by parsing difficult sentences and themes, I don’t seem to be deterred.
My most recent treasure hunt led me to The Great Gatsby. I had previously read Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned and thought it was quite good, so I was wondering what The Great Gatsby might be like. It’s considered Fitzgerald’s best work, after all. It even has a movie adaptation from which came that famous Leonardo diCaprio champagne-toast scene. And now, I see the reasons behind all the acclaim.
