[quoting a tweet from bad novelist Brad Torgersen complaining about the teaching of The Great Gatsby in schools]

“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?

Hold me in your heart tonight
In the magic of the dark moonlight
Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
