Review:
"Jaime Clarke's ode to Gatsby is a completely winning, honest ode to everything: the yearning of an outsider, for success, the drama of the work world, the seduction and darkness of wealth, the search for love and the complex, bumpy life of a writer. The Nick Carraway of Phoenix stakes his own literary territory here; a charming and engaging book." - Karen E. Bender, author of Refund: Stories.
"Jaime Clarke has penned a smart, funny, beguiling account of his love affair with America's favorite novel. This book, like its narrator, lives "both inside Fitzgerald's pages and out," the best case of literary obsession I've had the pleasure of reading since Nicholson Baker's U & I. A must-read, and not just for Gatsby fans." - David James Poissant, author of The Heaven of Animals
