Susan’s Reviews > Careless People: Murder, Mayhem, and the Invention of The Great Gatsby > Status Update

Fascinating non-fiction account of what the world was like when Fitzgerald was writing Great Gatsby. Especially like all the details about NY. There used to be traffic towers and policemen would sit in them and change the glass, red or green or yellow. But it wasn't agreed yet that green meant go. So there was a lot of discussion about what a green light meant.
