It's sad that Gatsby wasn't a roaring success upon publication, for his sake. I remember how he hated Hollywood and felt tainted by being there. What an interesting life he had, though, in vibrant times.Flossie Benton Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014187603260716073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136317338267812281.post-84750735822207240702015-08-26T23:09:45.084+03:002015-08-26T23:09:45.084+03:00Wow!

That's most interesting.<br /><br />I remember reading the Great Gatsby in high school and not caring for it. Then, just a few months ago, I read it again and was astounded by the writing. I guess that's the perspective of time. Now I find it an amazing work of literature, a book well-worthy of it's renown!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
