Lecture: “The Great Gatsby at 100: Understanding Catholic Literature through the Lens of F. Scott Fitzgerald and His Greatest Novel” Speaker: Father Brandon O’Brien, JCL This talk will explore the intersection of Catholicism and literature, using the 100th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby as a guide. It will explore how literature can shape personal and spiritual growth, and it will delve into the Catholic perspective on art as an act of creation which reflects divine beauty and truth. It will contrast modern literary criticism with a Catholic interpretation, which uncovers deeper universal truths in both Christian and non-Christian works. Finally, it will examine the biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald and discuss how understanding Catholicism enriches the understanding of literature, particularly in light of the tragic context of The Great Gatsby (an allegory for the Roaring Twenties) and its reflections on moral decay and the abandonment of hope. Father Brandon O’Brien, JCL, is a graduate of Hofstra University (where he studied English and American literature). He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Rockville Centre in 2013 and in 2021 he received a Licentiate in Canon Law (J.C.L.) from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. He currently serves as a Tribunal Judge and Adjutant Judicial Vicar for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. He has had articles published inThe Dunwoodie Review, The Jurist, and The Catholic Social Science Review. Talk followed by Q&A.
