FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY: FITZGERALD IN SAINT PAUL
2025 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book The Great Gatsby. To mark this milestone, The Friends will convene a variety of programs that invite you to revisit the book and consider how its themes apply today.
Arguably the most well-known work of Saint Paul native Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby explores ideas about class and society, materialism, the American Dream, and more, set in the Jazz Age of the 1920s.
As the Minnesota Center for the Book and steward of Fitzgerald’s legacy in Saint Paul, The Friends will serve as a Gatsby resource in this anniversary year and partner with community organizations and individuals to produce programs like discussions, exhibits, performances, readings, and more.
