The Summer We Read Gatsby
By Danielle Ganek
304 pages;
Viking
A sophisticated comedy of manners about a wealthy family torn apart and
brought together by the contents of a will. A bit over-the-top and
rarified—as befits both the title reference and the author's history.
Ganek wrote about the chi-chi New York arts scene in Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him.
