The Great Gatsby is one of the most famous novels of all time. And while many analyses focus on its sociological insight, I wanted to do something slightly different. I want to read The Great Gatsby as an extended meditation on the nature of failure, and the impossibility of human satisfaction. I hope you enjoy.
