Fitzgerald chooses to open the story in medias res, with Bill in mid-conversation with Brancusi, discussing his $28 shoes (roughly $500 in today’s dollars). This choice to place such significant emphasis on Bill’s shoes characterizes him as someone who values outward appearances, with the cost and quality of his shoes symbolizing his social status.
