Jim's Review
🐛
Every English major's best friend (or worst enemy). Jim didn't appreciate this one until the second read — that's when the symbolism hits you like a truck. The green light, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, the parties that mean nothing... Fitzgerald packed more meaning into 180 pages than most authors manage in 800. Short, devastating, and absolutely brilliant.
