WBD (TLH) 9: The Great Gatsby
“His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy’s white face came up to him. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God.”A series of tragic events unfold in 20s New York when, through Nick Carraway, a young graduate, the enigmatic Jay Gatsby is reunited with his former love, Daisy Buchanan, beginning a romance that attempts to recapture lost time and erase the present, clashing with the coldness and social status of the upper class.
A work that critiques the idea that material success guarantees happiness amidst an era of abrupt change.Apr 27, 2026
