The Financial Lives of the Poets Paperback - 2010
by Jess Walter
From National Book Award-finalist Walter comes a hysterically funny--and painfully timely--novel of one man's attempt to save his family from economic disaster by putting his entrepreneurial leanings toward a life of petty crime.
From the rear cover
What happens when small-time reporter Matthew Prior quits his job to gamble everything on a quixotic notion: a Web site devoted to financial journalism in the form of blank verse?
Before long, he wakes up to find himself jobless, hobbled with debt, spying on his wife's online flirtation, and six days away from losing his home. . . . Until, one night on a desperate two a.m. run to 7-Eleven, he falls in with some local stoners, and they end up hatching the biggest--and most misbegotten--plan yet.
The cover of this paperback edition comes in three different colors: green, blue, and orange.
