IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of 2-1-22 this course has been moved to online instruction and will only be available via Zoom. Participants will be sent the Zoom link via email the day before the first session

Now that it has entered public domain, The Great Gatsby has acquired a prequel, a magical sequel, a graphic novel version, and an alternate queer version. What about Fitzgerald’s book itself? We’ll look at its gorgeous language and dire predictions, as well as its narrative devices. Participants are asked to read the entire novel prior to class.

Suggested Reading: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 1925 edition. Multiple printings available.
