After all, I\u2019m a writing teacher and a student of literature\u2014soon to be a professor of literature\u2014and I should have respect for Fitzgerald\u2019s 1925 novel, even if it flopped when it came out. Was I really going to use it to show him\u2014in the most petty and humiliating way\u2014how hurt and pissed off I was that he had told me he just wanted to be friends?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I was. I sat on a bench on the \u201cliterary walk\u201d in Iowa City\u2014the UNESCO City of Literature\u2014and made notes so that my lecture had less to do with how anecdotes hinge together within chapters and more to do with what a philandering ass Tom Buchanan is. My plan was to focus on chapter one, specifically the moment when Nick goes over to Tom and Daisy\u2019s for dinner and glimpses East Egg for the first time. I\u2019d talk about how each anecdote\u2014each seemingly random incident\u2014sets up what a snake Tom is. After all, he\u2019s the one who shuts the windows and brings Daisy and Jordan Baker\u2014whose dresses are \u201crippling and fluttering\u201d as if they\u2019ve just taken \u201ca short flight around the house\u201d\u2014to the floor. Tom\u2019s a bummer, the kind of man who uses his \u201cgruff\u201d voice and \u201ccruel\u201d body to beat the spirit and life out of women. <\/p>\n<p>He would get the message.<\/p>\n<p>As I got up from the bench, the better part of my thin soul tried to remind me that Gatsby is the kind of book that proves writing is an art, even if Fitzgerald did write it for money. It\u2019s a novel I love, one I teach to literature students twice a year. <\/p>\n<p>And really, what had this guy done? I wasn\u2019t Daisy and he wasn\u2019t Tom Buchanan. He was just a guy who liked to flirt and send lots and lots of text messages laden with sexual innuendos late at night, just one of the many Americans who thought about writing a memoir and wanted to talk to \u201ca real writer\u201d about it. Was I really going to break his newly found literary spirit? Wouldn\u2019t I be better off delving into Fitzgerald\u2019s rich text for the right reasons?<\/p>\n<p>No, I would not. I walked into the lecture hall packed with aspiring writers wanting to know how novels work. The guy was in the fifth row innocently reading the newspaper. I was the one who had convinced him to read Sinclair Lewis\u2019s <em>Main Street<\/em> and then meet me \u201cfor strawberries\u201d to discuss it. I was the one who told him he should read Hemingway and then invited him to go for a walk because I really wanted to know what he thought of Papa. <\/p>\n<p>And he wasn\u2019t the first. There was the filmmaker who wanted to read more poetry, the luthier who was curious about novellas. I don\u2019t know when I started using literature to seduce men, but my bookish attempts to entice were starting to make me feel desperate and unclean.<\/p>\n<p>I delivered my vengeful Gatsby lecture. But every time I caught the guy\u2019s eye, I started to feel a lot like Tom with his $300,000 pearls. Wasn\u2019t I just trying to bribe men hungry for something to read? And what would happen when and if the guy reciprocated? How could I deliver book recommendations for an entire marriage? Wouldn\u2019t he, eventually, see right through me\u2014just as Daisy had with Tom? And wouldn\u2019t I, like Tom, eventually stray to fill my need to entrance someone who had never read a personal essay? <\/p>\n<p>When I finished my lecture, the writers in the audience applauded. They seemed genuinely pleased. They came up and asked lots of questions about structure and scene-versus-summary. The guy stood up and left. I assumed he was irrevocably pissed off. I had achieved my goal. I\u2019d won. Hadn\u2019t I?<\/p>\n<p>The writers filed out, and I erased the blackboard. As packed up my things, I felt my phone vibrate. A text from the guy: Great lecture. Meet for lunch?<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the first chapter, Nick sees Gatsby looking out across the Sound. He assumes he\u2019s staring at the green light at the edge of Daisy\u2019s dock. But how can Nick be sure what Gatsby\u2019s really looking at? How can he really know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How effective is it to use literature to seduce men?
