This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the “creative temperament”—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No—Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men...” Publisher Independently published (September 1, 2022) Paperback 114 pages Dimensions 5.5 x 0.26 x 8.5 inches Language English Item Weight 5.6 ounces ISBN-13 979-8351145013 0.26 inches x 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches.
