Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix (Remixed Classics)

by Anna-Marie McLemore

“Boys like us always know one another about a thousand years before anyone else knows us, don’t we?”

“Boys like us get used to having to lie about everything else just so we can tell the truth about ourselves.”

but men like that did not know we were as divine as the heavens. We were boys who had created ourselves. We had formed our own bodies, our own lives, from the ribs of the girls we were once assumed to be.

First, you start lying. Then, you become a liar. Then, you become a lie.
