The only fade away in the book is when Nick decides to spend personal time with a male photographer who “shows him his work”. I think they were doing something more than that Mr. Fitzgerald.

The Great Gatsby is my fav of the classics I had to read in school. Every now and again I will sit down and reread it. I enjoy it every single time. Although daunting at times, its a harsh but very real story that gets me every single time.
