Sparkling!

Revisado: 09-07-22

This story of a man who grew into a legend who grew into a tragedy has always intrigued me. Probably because the idea of inventing yourself within manhood was something that I related to deeply, as a trans man. This reimagining not only enriched the story of Jay Gatsby but also the romantic subtext I always saw on the page.

I think it’s a wonderful thing to be able to imagine yourself in stories, to read between the pages and provide your own reading of the text. But there’s something particularly magical to seeing yourself reflected back on the page, to relate deeply to the characters because you recognize their story in your own.

I cannot recommend this book enough and I thank the author for giving me the chance to look at this story and see hope and reinvention instead of tragedy.
