Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-22 00:00:00 Tracey Young Lois Tyson poured her everything in this book. It's the work of a genius mind. I loved reading this book several times. It changed me for the better. It was required for my courses, but the book became a friend who was urging me to study while having some fun. Compared to all of the other recommended reading (all men), this book was a ray of sunshine. Knowledge and wisdom along with insight were distilled in the pages of this book. Complex ideas presented with such simplicity made for a terrific read. I'm a bit disappointed that the author, well, authored just this one book, but the glass is completely full.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-08 00:00:00 Ken Smith It's only now that I understand what Harold Bloom means from calling some modern schools of literary criticism, "school of resentment." In this book, at the end of each chapter introducing a school, there is a reading of The Great Gatsby from that perspective. Summing all these readings up one may conclude Fitzgerald's masterwork is a racist, sexist, classist, colonialist (!), homophobic novel.
