The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians
People look under classics when they’re purchasing summer reading titles for their kids’ school assignments, which raises even more questions, like, “How could we leave out The Great Gatsby?”
Angle of Repose
Like The Great Gatsby, it helps us define who we, as a people in this new land, are. Oliver in his gallant romanticism is our Gatsby, and Susan in her own romantic snobbish world is our Daisy, and ne’er the twain shall meet until at the end they find their angle of repose. We have all, to use Fitzgerald’s words, looked toward the “fresh, green breast of the New World,” and we all believe, or would like to believe, in the American Dream, although we each may define that dream in our own way.
