It doesn't matter if you haven't read the book or seen the movie The Great Gatsby, yo're welcome in this club and it will be fun!
What if a century-old novel could still explain the way we date, show off, and judge each other today? What if a story you’ve never read, or maybe only heard about, could suddenly feel uncomfortably familiar? In this discussion, we’ll explore short, carefully chosen excerpts from The Great Gatsby, reading them together and unpacking what they reveal about ego, desire, and prejudice. No prior knowledge is needed: you don’t need to have read the book or seen the movie. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to look beneath the surface of beautiful language and glamorous scenes.
Through guided reading and conversation, we’ll examine how egoism, promiscuity, and racism appear in the world of Gatsby, sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle, and why these themes still matter today. Smart but accessible, playful yet thoughtful, this session turns literature into a living conversation about status, attraction, and moral blind spots. You’ll leave not only with a clearer understanding of a classic, but also with sharper tools to read people, society, and yourself a little more deeply.
