By Times Staff Writer
Published October 25, 2007
As part of the 2007 Big Read program in Pinellas County, Molly Thomas-Hicks will talk about F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby at the Festival of Reading. The Big Read is a national community reading project of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Pinellas Big Read, sponsored by the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative, was one of 117 to receive a grant from the NEA this year. Thomas-Hicks joined the NEA as a literature fellow in July 2006. She is the series editor of the Big Read Teacher's Guides. She holds a bachelor's degree in English literature from Huntingdon College (in Montgomery, Ala., the hometown of Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda) and a master of fine arts degree in literature and creative writing from the Bennington Writing Seminars.
