“Even I didn’t understand why my main character is great. The Classics Slacker cleared up my confusion.”
—F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
When you think of the Great American Novel, you have to consider F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. And not just because his masterpiece of The Jazz Age is nice and short, fitting easily into the backpacks of most American high school students. If they took it out and opened it, they would find, among other highlights: a lovelorn protagonist, green lights, large bespectacled billboards, and drinking, oh the drinking, lots of drinking!
What does it all mean? If you didn’t find out in high school English class, The Classics Slacker is here to unravel it all for you.
