El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 6, Página 1
Around
this
time,
a
young
and
ambitious
reporter
from
New
York
showed
up
at
Gatsby’s
door
one
morning,
asking
if
he
had
anything
to
share.
“Anything
to
share
about
what?”
Gatsby
asked
politely.
“Well—any
statement
you’d
like
to
make.”
After
a
confusing
five
minutes,
it
became
clear
that
the
reporter
had
heard
Gatsby’s
name
in
his
office,
linked
to
something
he
either
couldn’t
disclose
or
didn’t
fully
grasp.
On
his
day
off,
he
had
rushed
over
with
commendable
initiative
“to
see.”
It
was
a
random
attempt,
yet
the
reporter’s
hunch
was
right.
Gatsby’s
reputation,
spread
by
the
hundreds
who
had
enjoyed
his
hospitality
and
thus
became
experts
on
his
past,
had
grown
all
summer
until
he
was
nearly
newsworthy.
Modern
legends
like
the
“underground
pipeline
to
Canada”
attached
themselves
to
him,
and
there
was
a
persistent
rumor
that
he
didn’t
live
in
a
house
at
all,
but
in
a
boat
disguised
as
a
house,
secretly
moving
up
and
down
the
Long
Island
shore.
Why
these
stories
pleased
James
Gatz
of
North
Dakota
isn’t
easy
to
understand.
James
Gatz—that
was
his
real,
or
at
least
legal,
name.
He
changed
it
at
seventeen,
at
the
exact
moment
his
career
began—when
he
saw
Dan
Cody’s
yacht
drop
anchor
over
the
most
treacherous
sandbar
on
Lake
Superior.
It
was
James
Gatz
who
had
been
wandering
along
the
beach
that
afternoon
in
a
torn
green
jersey
and
canvas
pants,
but
it
was
already
Jay
Gatsby
who
borrowed
a
rowboat,
paddled
out
to
the
Tuolomee,
and
warned
Cody
that
a
storm
could
wreck
him
within
half
an
hour.
