This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia travel to 1920's Long Island for Julia's favourite book of all time, The Great Gatsby. The gals chat about the unreliable honesty of Nick Carraway, whether or not Owl-Eyes represents Death, and Nick's not-so-hetero sex life. Katie wonders what love is, and Julia muses on how this book is better than therapy. PLUS: sometimes colours mean things, all the corruption, and trying to uncover the tragic love story of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.

This week's book was The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. More info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gatsby
