Tomorrow marks 100 years since The Great Gatsby was published, and USC Libraries is honoring the milestone with a public exhibit on the novel’s legacy.
On view at the Hollings Library through July 15, the display features everything from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s report card and annotated manuscripts to translated editions and a first edition of the book itself. Curated by Dr. Michael Weisenburg, the exhibit highlights Fitzgerald’s life, the novel’s Jazz Age roots, and its global influence.
Visitors can explore themes like flapper culture, Jazz music, and Fitzgerald’s friendships with literary icons like Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein. A special read-aloud of The Great Gatsby will celebrate the novel’s 100th anniversary on Thursday, April 10.
Admission is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
