Thanks so much for featuring The Gatsby Game today, Donna! This story is based on the mysterious death of David Whiting, a man I dated in college. He always said I "could see through him" and knew him "better than anybody." He carried a letter I wrote him around for two years. So I think I may know better than anybody how he really died. This is a novel based on that knowledge. I hope people will give it a look.
