" Hi, just wondering some stuff about this quote in the 1st chapter. What exactly do you find preyed on Gatsby? What clearly was this interest Nick had that ended with Gatsby?
: "No--Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and shorwinded elations of men."
==========================================
Considering that, at the end of the story, Nick turns away from the selfish world that destroyed Gatsby, yet fuelled his dreams, I venture that the "foul dust" is the world of Tom and Daisy.
But I hope we see here other explanations of this curious page, one of several in which Fitzgerald so confusingly rhapsodizes.
