A 'biography' of The Great Gatsby
By Roman Clodia
This is an interesting read but it's perhaps trying to do too many things at once which serve to detract from, rather than strengthen, its import and impact. Churchwell is writing a biography of the Fitzgeralds, especially during the year of 1922 when the Great Gatsby was set, even though it wasn't written and completed until a few years later. She is also offering interpretations and readings of the novel itself, alongside contextual information on e.g. prohibition, the gangster-crooks who built America etc. And, as a third and major strand, she excavates an unsolved murder that took place in 1922 and which she rather forces into what remains a tenuous relationship with Fitzgerald's novel.The narrative itself is fragmented with short sections mimicking the scrapbooks which the Fitzgeralds themselves kept, and the constant switching between the various stories does give this a slightly bitty feel, as if it's written for a presumed hyperactive audience with a short attention span.That said, this is a lively read which captures the frenetic atmosphere of the 1920s, and the way Fitzgerald himself lived, encapsulated and helped to construct the idea of the Jazz Age. I especially liked the way Churchwell makes extensive use of Fitzgerald's own words from letters, essays and other writings - though her refusal to use footnotes means that it's a little fiddly to trace the sources as we need to go though separate notes sections and then a bibliography.Churchwell's articulation of the relationship between art and life is nuanced rather than simplistic: this would be a good read for anyone wanting to know more about the fascinating Fitzgeralds, the evolution of The Great Gatsby, and the world which it depicts.

A great read
By Gillian
A fascinating book underpinned by thorough research. Ultimately one marvels how such an alcohol befuddled F Scott Fitzgerald could, nevertheless, produce such a well crafted novel.

A Brilliant Achievement
By History Fan
This is a truly enthralling book. It examines the creation of F.Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel "The Great Gatsby" during 1924, though Professor Sarah Churchwell shows why the great novelist chose the partying jazz age year of 1922 to locate the action. It was the same year T.S.Eliot published "The Waste Land"- a critical commentary on post-war Britain and when James Joyce released "Ulysses"- an ode to Dublin. In a similar way, Fitzgerald captures the boom period of the `Roaring 1920s" of New York and its locale and the dangers that hedonistic world posed to the American Dream, which was, of course, shattered by the Wall Street Crash at the end of the decade. The free spirited and careless people Churchwell examines here are literally dancing on a volcano.Churchwell reveals why Fitzgerald was uniquely equipped to capture this important phase of American hubris and the lessons it offers to those seduced by a consumer society.However, Churchwell is much too subtle not to point out the great differences between the world of 1922 and now. There was gin, wine and cocktails aplenty and Jay Gatsby loved all three, but the New York state of 1922 was still lit by gas light, homes had coal fires and there was no TV.Churchwell points out too the differences between the open-minded attitudes to sex in the novel and how much the America of the 1920s as a whole was not yet prepared for such lax attitudes towards extra-marital love affairs.To provide an historical illustration, Churchwell superbly weaves into her book a true and horrific sex crime from 1922 concerning a Reverend Hall and his lover Eleanor Mills, who were both sadistically murdered and then links this with the relationship between Tom Buchanan and Myrtle- two key figures in the novel- and she suggests Fitzgerald drew on this scandal in the creation of his novel. Here Churchwell shows that great art is always more derivative than uniquely original. Nearly every page of this book reveals something new about Fitzegerald's novel and the context in which it was created.I could not put this book down from start to finish. It's one of the best books about a novel I have ever read. This is a brilliant achievement by an academic with a very acute and rare ability to reach the academic specialist and a wider audience at the same time.
