The Great Gatsby

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, the character Jay Gatsby lives in an ostentatious house on Long Island, New York, with a mish-mash of styles. Here's the narrator's description of the house as he is given a tour:

"And inside as we wandered through Marie Antoinette music rooms and Restoration salons I felt that there were guests concealed behind every couch and table, under orders to be breathlessly silent until we had passed through. As Gatsby closed the door of "the Merton College Library"...etc.

So, a literary reference to the Library. Probably of little interest, but I toss it out for consideration... Andrew — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.145.112.59 (talk) 21:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
