25+ years of friendship, 3 years of co-hosting a podcast, and we finally reached the pinnacle of the craft when it comes to literary conversation: that is to say, talking about a book without really talking much about the book. We close out our third season with one of the Great American Novels-- and true to Fitzgerald's artistic vision, we use the boozy shenanigans of Jay, Nick, Daisy, Tom, Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, et al as a jumping off point for conversations about the human condition and the state of the American dream. At least that's how we hope it turned out... there were many martinis involved. Or to put it another way: our boats were against the current, but we beat on, born back ceaselessly into gin-fueled talents.
