Blind man in the Dark
I bring eyes of truth. What do you bring? Nothing. Learning by example! I remember reading the book in high school and always thinking of Gatsby as this strong, stoic, suave, mysterious man who had everything under control. But when I read it as an adult, I realised he is a hollow man, a shell …
