In Chapter Two, Nick is pulled beyond the gilded world of East Egg and into the Valley of Ashes — a grey, desolate wasteland that exists in the shadow of all that wealth. Here we meet Myrtle Wilson, Tom Buchanan's mistress, alive and restless in a way that Daisy never allows herself to be. What follows is a chaotic afternoon party in a New York apartment that starts with whiskey and strangers and ends in violence. The world beneath the glamour is uglier than it looks. Follow the show so you never miss a chapter, and drop a comment with the classic you want us to read next — your suggestion could become our next season.
