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.

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.

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