Careless People: The Great Gatsby's biography

American academic Sarah Churchwell is the author of Careless People, a book she has dubbed the biography of The Great Gatsby.

Not only does it study the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, but it also looks at the lives of New Yorkers in 1922, at the beginning of the 'jazz age'.
