Zelda visits Delaware

Debra Conner brought Zelda Fitzgerald to vibrant life at the Sunbury and Delaware libraries last week. This wonderful program gave the audience the opportunity to learn more about Zelda, her life with Scott, and her perspective on The Great Gatsby and the Jazz Age she helped define.
We joined Zelda in 1948 in Asheville, North Carolina, where she was living at Highland Hospital and receiving treatments for the mental illness that had haunted her for nearly 18 years. She took us on a journey through her memories. We could ask questions directly of Zelda, and then later we could deepen the discussion with Debra.

I loved how this program added new dimensions to my experience reading The Great Gatsby. I'm looking forward to the program this Tuesday, April 22 at 7:00 p.m., when Dr. Ted McDaniel will talk about the evolution of American Jazz History.
