TGG FANDOM, RISE!!
Why Nick should win Gayest Classic Lit Character:
Canonically had sex with a man (Mr. McKee).
Spent the rest of the novel obsessed with another man (Jay Gatsby, of course).
This article makes a more complex and compelling case than I have the time or energy to.

I have two brain cells and I only use them to find ways in which classic literature is gay.

In my opinion, The Great Gatsby is largely quite easy to read, especially when compared to a lot of classic literature, but it's intimidating in a way because it feels like every line means something. Every bit of dialogue and description seems to have another purpose under what is often a frivolous surface. It's intimidating when trying to gather ones thoughts, but it's also endlessly fascinating. I think that's why I have read this book so many times and will read it so many times again. I could write a book on this book.

since school is starting up again: pirate your textbooks!! my fave for this is library genesis. the most functional extension as of right now is libgen.is but literally whatever works. search by title, or better yet by ISBN to make sure you have the right edition, download...& profit. english majors make sure you’re searching in the right section (fiction will, obviously, have novels & poetry, but the default is sci-tech). i have a more in-depth post here too if you want to share your free texts with your classmates. go ham
