2025 marks the 100th anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, widely considered one of the most important works in American literature.
While this tale of sordid love affairs, rich criminals, and shocking killings has sold over 25 million copies worldwide and remains one of the most assigned books in American classrooms, many readers are surprised to learn that it flopped when it was first published.
So, how did it go from failure to classic? Join us to celebrate the Gatsby centennial with a public presentation by Palomar College English professor Adam Meehan, who will talk about why the book is as American as apple pie (did we mention the sordid love affairs, rich criminals, and shocking killings?) and why it still resonates today.
