? Saturday, November 15th at 6PM:
Scott Fitzgerald and His Time
A Lecture by Dr. Steven Bloom,
former lecturer of the University of Heidelberg English Department

The participation fee of ?5 includes entry to the book discussion as well as a free copy of The Great Gatsby, an audio-CD and a Reader?s Guide.
