Staten Island OutLOUD hosts a reading & discussion on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” together with excerpts from his short story “Absolution” – One of the “Gatsby quartet” of stories that helped germinate and develop ideas that Fitzgerald incorporated into his novel.

“Absolution” is an unsettling story about Jay Gatsby’s youth.  Can you guess what his story might be, prior to Nick Carraway’s narration?

Hosted by Prof. Edward Fiorelli
