Mount Prospect Historical Society Book Club's September Discussion: Celebrate the centennial of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
About this Event

Celebrate the centennial of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald with us as we revisit one of America’s most enduring novels.

Whether you first encountered Gatsby in high school or it’s been sitting on your to-read list for years, this is the perfect opportunity to (re)discover why the novel continues to captivate readers a century after its publication. How have your views on love, wealth, and ambition changed since your first reading? Or—if this is your first time—what will The Great Gatsby reveal to you about the American Dream?

Set against the glittering backdrop of the 1920s, Fitzgerald’s novel opens the door to rich discussion on topics such as:

  • Prohibition and its cultural impact
  • Class divisions and social mobility
  • Gender roles and power dynamics
  • The illusions and realities of wealth

Join us for a lively and thoughtful conversation about this literary classic, which still resonates today.
