Description
Our author’s family has deep ties to Maryland; that’s why his full name was Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. Both the author and his wife Zelda are buried in Rockville, MD along with other Fitzgeralds. The novel depicts the Roaring Twenties in America. Its view of the Jazz Age is seen as commentary on the “American Dream”. The work is being both banned and challenged for that perceived commentary in addition to the usual reasons school boards in particular are removing titles from public school curricula. As we begin 2026, what is your take? Please read the book so you can participate in our structured, facilitated Zoom discussion.
