I can see why this book endures. Beautifully written, paints a vivid picture of the roaring twenties through the lens of an outsider's perspective of one dysfunctional and tragic love affair. I imagine if I dissected the book I could go on about literary elements, understated allegories, etc., but I read it just for enjoyment. That it can still be read solely for enjoyment after being hailed as a classic for nearly 100 years speaks volumes.
