Gatsby

"Everyone suspects himself of a least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
Do you think Nick tells us the truth?
Tomes upon tomes of scholarly writing have been devoted to the question of whether Nick, as “constructed” by Fitzgerald, is “a reliable narrator,” with scholars fighting bitterly for years to “prove” the point one way or another.
The great thing about talking about books on Titlepage is that here we don’t have to worry about publication, service hours, or tenure review. We can just talk about books.
So, what do you think?
