I've been reconsidering the ending of The Great Gatsby. Do you think Nick's judgment of the Buchanans was too harsh, or a necessary moral anchor?

I tend to think it was a necessary anchor. In a world that had lost its compass, Nick's 'provincial' squeamishness is the only thing keeping the narrative grounded.

Exactly. He is the 'clean' observer in a 'dirty' crowd. I have a first edition I'd love to show you next time you visit the gallery.
