Come and join the fun on Tuesday, September 3 at the Sylvia Hotel Lounge overlooking English Bay, as we hoist a few to toast summer's swan song. Newcomers and the simply curious are always welcome. As usual, the festivities commence at 7pm.
First published in 1920, This Side of Paradise marks the beginning of the career of one of the greatest writers of the first half of the twentieth century. In this remarkable achievement, F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unparalleled wit and keen social insight in his portrayal of college life through the struggles and doubts of Amory Blaine, a self-proclaimed genius with a love of knowledge and a penchant for the romantic. Clever and wonderfully written, This Side of Paradise is a fascinating novel about the changes of the Jazz Age and their effects on the individual.
