The Great Gatsby is finally out of copyright.
Is this where I confess that I haven’t read Gatsby since 9th grade and was extremely “meh” on it and have not read it since.
And I still appreciated Vo’s retelling and the way that her shift in perspective (not so much the magic) deepens the menacing shadows and raises the stakes. I can’t decide whether anything will make me like the story itself and yet this does what it does so well. (Points docked for gatsbyness, idk even.)
