July is Gatsby Month, because what better way to celebrate America's birthday than discussing the novel about the futility of the American Dream? We begin with the Baz Luhrmann directed, Leonardo DiCaprio starring 2013 adaptation to ask the question if all the bombast and heightened reality obscures the very point of that one novel most people seemed to actually enjoy reading in high school? Happy belated birthday Tobey Maguire.
Content Warning: swearing, discussions of racism, sexism, and rants about recent Supreme Court decisions.
