-Titulo Original : Careless People Murder, Mayhem, And The Invention Of The Great Gatsby
-Fabricante :
Penguin Books
-Descripcion Original:
Review The Wall Street Journal:Careless People blends biography, scholarship and literary journalism to generate a narrative that is almost novelistic in its urgency….Ms. Churchwell is committed not only to digging up long-forgotten historical nuggets but also to telling a well-crafted story....The finest achievement of Careless People may be to return The Great Gatsby to its moment. Time, place and the material world necessarily feed the imagination, and Ms. Churchwell presents a wealth of historical material that ought to inform any reading of Fitzgeralds great novel as a product of its era.”USA Today:“[A] compelling biography….The book is stuffed with wonderful and quirky cultural nuggets….Above all, Churchwell does a fantastic job of conjuring the magic of the Jazz Age, as well as its more lurid side. Regardless of how much of Fitzgeralds great novel was the result of fate, coincidence or pure imagination, it is fascinating to read about the era that shaped him, and to see how brilliantly he captured the happenings of his time.”The Washington Post:“[A] rewarding work, a history of 1922 as it was lived by the Fitzgeralds and their circle, as well as by the fictitious cast of The Great Gatsby. Like the jazz that defined the era, the book tells its story through digression and repetition, building up a pattern of internal references and refrains.American Prospect:“[T]he liveliest contribution to Fitzgeraldiana to come my way in years... [Churchwell’s] delight in everything shes dug up renews the novels enchantments even for the Gatsby-wearied likes of me... a vivid and often witty account of all the zany, sad, ridiculous things that Scott, Zelda and their fellow Jazz Age glitterati got up to during the boozy summer and autumn of 1922... impressively researched.”Entertainment Weekly:“If you put all the books about F. Scott Fitzgerald in a stack, the resulting tower would be-apologies for the scientific jargon-really, really tall. In fact, it would almost certainly fall over. So it takes a bold writer to try tossing another one on the pile-and here comes one now! Sarah Churchwell’s Careless People concerns the writing of The Great Gatsby and the cultural and societal forces that inspired its superdrunk author. The book’s an unusual mix of criticism, biography, and true crime, all of it bound together by Churchwell’s lyrical prose and, frankly, the sheer force of her will. Not everything is new here (how could it be?), but its an evocative read. It belongs on the tower, even if somebody else’s book has to come off. A-”Newsday:“Sarah Churchwell’s zesty cocktail of history, biography and literary criticism (with a dash of philosophical musing) so vividly captures the disordered existence of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald during the 18-month sojourn on Long Island that inspired his greatest novel, many readers will close her book astonished that Scott managed to write The Great Gatsby at all....She does a brilliant job of re-creating ‘the world that prompted F. Scott Fitzgerald to write The Great Gatsby,….Insights such as this make Careless People a book that anyone who cares about The Great Gatsby will want to read.”The Chronicle of Higher Education:“Churchwell introduces real-life equivalents of Fitzgerald’s characters, and she follows the stories in their morning papers. The results are often as glamorous, lurid, depressing, and fun to read as one would imagine… [Careless People] brings 1920s New York City vividly to life.”Seattle Times:“A thoughtful book that’ll be catnip to all Gatsby lovers….we’re given fascinating glimpses of social history.”Minneapolis Star Tribune:“Sarah Churchwell, in this utterly pleasing and thorough ‘biography of a book,’ brings the two views together in a worthwhile effort at achieving whole sight…. Re-read The Great Gatsby, read Careless People and, if you still have any lingering doubts, go see ‘The Wolf of Wall Street.’”Boston Globe:“The latest to fall under its spell is the scholar Sar
