The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby, racy pasquinade
Could you please tell me the meaning of "racy pasquinade" in the last chapter of The Great Gatsby?
Most of those reports were a nightmare—grotesque, circumstantial, eager and untrue. When Michaelis's testimony at the inquest brought to light Wilson's suspicions of his wife I thought the whole tale would shortly be served up in racy pasquinade—but Catherine, who might have said anything, didn't say a word.
Thank you.
