Gatsby

[alice malice]

Gatsby doesn't make good film material because Mr. Gatsby is not very
interesting on film or on stage, or even, in the book.  He is
beautiful in how the narrator makes him and all that floats in his
wake. Fitzgerald has a wonder stick, a magical way with words, with
light and with shades and with color. The book is a period novella but
for the prose, those brilliant flashes, those shutters, the light
through the girders.  But it is Pynchon in its deeper themes about all
those westerners come east from hardware money to software money, from
the tangible to the intangible exchanges.
