About Book Club

Offered a few times a year, the CLS Book Club seeks to explore various topics, authors, and diversity within its book selections. Under this objective, Book Club also offers space for conversation, perspectives, and discourse to aptly deliver a synopsis on the panorama of characters and and narratives present in The Great Gatsby. This month’s Book Club discussion will be led by the dynamic Barbara Hagerty.

About the Book

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. 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.
