I’m up a little bit later than usual, having my morning coffee and I wanted to share a couple of thoughts.

Today marks 100 years since The Great Gatsby entered the world and the formidable has released a beautiful new edition of it that includes an essay I wrote. For a year of my 20s, I had a stalker.
