That may be true, but his authorsip is in doubt, and not to knock your screen name, but The Great Gatsby was the most painful expierence of my high school years.

His authorship is in doubt? Find me a serious scholar who thinks that’s possible. The people who doubt authorship are the upscale equivalent of 9/11 truthers. And basically they are snobs.

Besides, does it make a difference to the appreciation of the text? Someone wrote it. I don't know who wrote Dream of the Rood or Beowulf, but I can still appreciate them.

Can I ask what made Gatsby so painful?
