Barrow was born in Georgia in 1901 and attended the University of Georgia, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. After college, Barrow moved to New York City, where he became a successful stockbroker and lived a life of excess and indulgence.However, Barrow's life took a tragic turn when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1929. He spent the next several years traveling to various sanatoriums in search of a cure, but ultimately succumbed to the disease in 1932 at the age of 31.Coulter's book explores the life and death of James Barrow, as well as the cultural and social context of the Lost Generation of the 1920s.
