Welcome to Episode 1: "The Great Mattsby" In our first episode, Holly teaches Matt about the classic American novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald (so he doesn't have to read it in high school). Hurrah! Includes a rundown on Themes, History, Context, Symbolism, Plot Analysis, plus assorted jokes & jabs.
Also featuring tangents on: Operation Tootsie Roll, The Executioner's Song, "Favorite Book" Rankings, Hydroplanes, Spelling Errors, DJ Eckleburg, Organ Trafficking, and more!
Stay tuned for an EXTRA CREDIT episode about the author F. Scott Fitzgerald (too big to include here 😬)
