Registration Required.  

Join us in the Brenner Room for a discussion on The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, led by Judy Levin.  

 
First published in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
