Joseph Auciello will teach the second class of this four-part course 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? Joseph will continue to read and talk with the class 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.

Joseph has been an English teacher and department head in public and private schools and is a published journalist. 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.
