Join fellow fiction enthusiasts to discuss critically acclaimed novels. In celebration of its centennial anniversary, this class focuses on The Great Gatsby (1925) by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Set in the Jazz Age in fictional towns on the North Shore of Long Island, The Great Gatsby is the saga of a self-made millionaire and his pursuit of a wealthy young married woman, as narrated through the flashbacks of the woman's Yale-educated cousin from the Midwest. The novel was a commercial failure initially but gained in popularity during World War II and is now regarded as F. Scott Fitzgerald’s greatest work. In celebration of the publication's centennial anniversary, revisit this classic and explore themes of social mobility, class disparities, the changing roles and expectations of women in the 1920s, and the deleterious effects of unencumbered wealth.
