So We Read On

Minus the last chapter and all the personal anecdotes in it, I loved reading this. Now I need to reread Gatsby.

I disliked Gatsby when I read it in high school, but recently reread it (last 2-3 years). It's a book that requires some more life experience and some experience with regret and choice. I enjoyed Corrigan's approach to this book - well-researched but not overly erudite.

A thick stew filled with lots and lots of stuff about The Great Gatsby and its author. Dense and somewhat meandering but interesting none the less.

I think this will be pretty helpful in the classroom. I've read The Great Gatsby many times over, but even I was able to look at some things differently through Corrigan's explication.
