one of Amazon’s top books in the #BestofBookTok section is Dostoyevsky’s White Nights. I would’ve bet a billion dollars it was a Pevear and Volokhonsky translation (*shudders*).

The Great Gatsby. It remains true. The people from out west are the people who love New York City the most. Those people who come from "that vast obscurity beyond the city":

"And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further… And one fine morning—

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Never seen a second, but Euphoria sounds like Twin Peaks in how the third season gradually reveals itself to be about the entirety of human existence.
