The finale of Staten Island OutLOUD’s Big Read series on “The Great Gatsby” features a spoken-word performance inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Winter Dreams”.  This story, considered one of Fitzgerald’s “Gatsby Quartet” of short stories, features elements of the themes that he developed more fully in “The Great Gatsby”.  

Who was that woman?  The woman of a young man’s “winter dreams”.  What happened to her?

Hosted by Prof. Edward Fiorelli.  We’ll enjoy a dessert buffet, courtesy of St John’s University administration, and we’ll share lively conversation about “Gatsby” and mkllFitzgerald’s life and work. 

Our readers include Amanda DeLalla, Robert Heffernan, Ted Lochwyn and musical guest Gary Moore, performing his original musical compositions.
