Yeah the characters in Twilight are vapid to achieve pulp appeal, the characters in Gatsby are vapid because the narrator is vapid and only presents them as they relate to him. The unreliable narrator aspect and the closing lines are what make it for me. The Twilight of the 20s were the OG pulp mags.
