Fitzgerald's prose is like liquid gold. Every sentence shimmers with melancholy beauty. I've read this a dozen times and still find new layers.

The American Dream dissected with surgical precision. Gatsby's parties are dazzling, but the emptiness underneath is devastating.

A perfect novel. The green light at the end of Daisy's dock haunts me still.
