a seemingly disconnected piece of information that throws a distinct shadow over Jay Gatsby's financial dealings. The mysterious phone call from Chicago after Gatsby's death about "Young Parke" being in trouble when he handed the bonds over the counter. There are intricate connections such as between the green light at the start of the book and at the end.but also precisely in the middle. The mystery surrounding Jay Gatsby develops throughout the book. He does't condemn doesn't rely reports like a good reporter recording the facts. And Daisy's presumed infidelity.is not really judged by the narrator. Casual immorality such as Tom Buchanan keeping a mistress. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars." New York in the twenties. And this: "There was music from my neighbour's house through the simmer nights. A tight story line, great characterisation, and the script itself almost like poetry."For a moment the last sunshine fell with romantic affection upon her glowing face her voice compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened - then the glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret, like children leaving a pleasant street at the fall of dusk". I'm not really a great reader of fiction but thought Fitzgerald's book was a delight. And when I found it was so short I read it quite quickly. And, I rather liked the prose extracts that Clark uses. It's really about literary analysis and the first example he uses is "The Great Gatsby" and it piqued my curiosity. At any event, I was really moved to read it because I had started reading a book by Roy Peter Clark called The Art of X Ray Reading. Maybe I saw it as a movie and now a new version of the movie has come out. I had the feeling that I had read this book years ago.
