I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in com- mon which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life. Even when the East excited me most, even when I was most keenly aware of its su- s periority to the bored, sprawling, swollen towns behind the Ohio, with their inter- minable inquisitions which spared only the children and the very old - even then it had always for me a quality of distortion. West Egg, especially, still figures in my more fantastic dreams. I see it as a night scene by El Greco: a hundred houses, at once con- ventional and grotesque, crouching under a sullen, overhanging sky and a lustreless 10 moon. In the foreground four solemn men in dress suits are walking along the side- walk with a stretcher on which lies a drunken woman in a white evening dress. Her hand, which dangles over the side, sparkles cold with jewels. Gravely the men turn in at a house - the wrong house. But no one knows the woman's name, and no one cares. 15 After Gatsby's death the East was haunted for me like that, distorted beyond my eyes' power of correction. So when the blue smoke of brittle leaves was in the air and the wind blew the wet laundry stiff on the line I decided to come back home. One afternoon late in October I saw Tom Buchanan. He was walking ahead of me along 20 Fifth Avenue in his alert, aggressive way, his hands out a little from his body as if to fight off interference, his head moving sharply here and there, adapting itself to his restless eyes. Just as I slowed up to avoid overtaking him he stopped and began frown- ing into the windows of a jewellery store. Suddenly he saw me and walked back holding his hand. 25 'What's the matter, Nick? Do you object to shaking hands with me?' 'Yes. You know what I think of you.' 'You're crazy, Nick,' he said quickly. 'Crazy as hell. I don't know what's the matter with you.' 'Tom,' I inquired, 'what did you say to Wilson that afternoon?' 30 He stared at me without a word, and I knew I had guessed right about those missing hours. I started to turn away, but he took a step after me and grabbed my arm. sprawling spread out in a disorganized way over a large area interminable endless. inquisition investigation to discover any unusual or immoral behaviour or beliefs distortion being twisted out of shape El Greco (1541-1616) Greek painter, used dis- torted figures and a con- trast between bright col- ours and grey to express religious ecstasy lustreless not bright brittle likely to break be- cause of being dry and cold alert watchful 'I told him the truth,' he said.

'What if I did tell him? That fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your eyes just like he did in Daisy's, but he was a tough one. He ran over Myrtle like you'd run over a dog and never even stopped his car.' There was nothing I could say, except the one unutterable fact that it wasn't true. 40 'And if you think I didn't have my share of suffering - look here, when I went to give up that flat and saw that damn box of dog biscuits sitting there on the sideboard, I sat down and cried like a baby. By God it was awful -' I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, en- tirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom 45 and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made ... I shook hands with him; it seemed silly not to, for I felt suddenly as though I were talking to a child.

He is his neighbor but it is like he admires him as reading in that sentence:.. You're worth the whole damn bunch put together". Or whe he describes his first meet with Gatsby that his smile is rare.

For example Tom feels so comfortable around Nick that he shares his intimate eletails with him of his private life by inviting Nick to his apartment in New York where he carries his affair with Myrtle. Another advantage of Nick concerns his outside view. As i told he is also objective when he tells: there was a boom of a bass drum [...] above the encholalia of the garden".
