The A.K. Smiley Library presents an evening with F. Scott Fitzgerald. On Sunday, Sept. 28 actor and writer Larry Vanderveen assumes the role of legendary novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald in a powerhouse one-man show exploring the life and times of the man who penned such classic American novels as The Great Gatsby and This Side of Paradise. From his troubled relationship with devoted wife Zelda to his later romance with Hollywood gossip writer Sheilah Graham and his complex friendship with acclaimed author Ernest Hemingway, this rich and textured exploration of Fitzgerald’s eventful life allows literature fans the unique opportunity to look into the mind of the man responsible for some of the greatest literature of the 20th Century. This program is free and open to the public. Join us in the A.K. Smiley Library Assembly Room on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. For more information contact Daniel Slota at 909-798-7565.
