Re-read this while getting ready to see the new Gatsby musical at the A.R.T. in Cambridge! I’m always blown away by how complete and engrossing this is in just 176 pages. I could never tell such a complicated story so concisely. It’s a shining example of truly great editing.

However, I  do remain a Jay Gatsby hater.
