    Arthur Chu Retweeted The Disordered Cosmos by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

    When we were assigned that book in high school I barreled through it in one sitting and I'll still defend it to the hatershttps://twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/status/1366068173796216833 …

    The Great Gatsby, the actual book, not people's trash ass adaptations of it into a tragic romance/big dress up party, is a great commentary on American society and a fine piece of writing suck it, haters

        I think one thing that makes people dislike it based on the adaptations is the adaptations linger It's how you get the sense that the point of the story is costume porn or opulence porn, that it's a long dragging Roaring 20s party The actual book goes by fast, at least for me

        It has momentum, everything that happens sets up another thing right away Gatsby's downfall has already begun at the opening of the novel and it just keeps accelerating with every page

        I think the adaptations always put me off trying it.

        I genuinely enjoyed that book. It was like the only book in American lit I liked.

        I haven’t read the book, but I did see Gatz by @erstheater , a mildly dramatised straight-through reading of the text, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a theatrehttps://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/stage/2012/jun/14/gatz-review …

        It is a very, very good book. The characters are all so deliciously, horribly broken, despite their incredible wealth. Excellent stuff.

        Gatsby is definitely one of those books I only liked in retrospect once I'd encountered the real world a few years later.

        Same. It was like a breath of fresh air after some really boring American Lit. Even if my teacher made us focus on the green light rather than the class elements (and just scooted right on past Tom’s racist rant)

        I've been wanting to re-read The Great Gatsby for a while and I think this thread pushed me to finally just do it

        In high-school it was definitely in the middle tier of books we had to read, as far as its effect on me. Squarely between lifechanging (The Color Purple) and books that made me go "What was the fucking point of that?" (The Scarlet Letter)
