"The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain."

"Do you ever wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always wait for the longest day of the year and then miss it!"

"Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had not been but what would never be."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

"I was always saving or being saved—in a single morning I would go through the emotions ascribable to Wellington at Waterloo. I lived in a world of inscrutable hostiles and inalienable friends and supporters."

Happy centennial to The Great Gatsby. Here's a piece I wrote about it and a book about it awhile back, and some of the prevailing cultural myths that still float in the wake of its dreams. @booksky.bsky.social @fscottfitzgerald.bsky.social @greatgatsby100.bsky.social thebaffler.com/latest/gatsb...

Happy birthday to the Great Gatsby! I wrote about its confused 100-year legacy as part masterpiece, part misread textbook www.vox.com/culture/4024...

100 years of The Great Gatsby. Amazing!
