Join Joseph Auciello, an English teacher and department head in public and private schools and published journalist, in this four-part class on The Great Gatsby. Published in 1925, The Great Gatsby is a novel in which an extravagantly wealthy young man embarks on a doomed quest to reignite the sparks of a long-lost love. It has sold more than 30 million copies and is still thriving a century later. Why? We will read and talk together about what a Jazz Age story of love and obsession, money and greed, class and status, innocence and corruption, can teach us about our era.

The suggested text for this course is: F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, with an introduction by Jesmyn Ward. ISBN # 978-0-7432-7356-5.
References in class will be to this edition, but other editions will be satisfactory.
