The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Over from Spokane and making this most welcome return to Elliott Bay is novelist Jess Walter. A National Book Award finalist for The Zero and an Edgar Award-winner for Citizen Vince, he is here with one of the season's most touted, remarkable novels, The Financial Lives of the Poets (Harper). "Who would think financial disaster could be so funny? But in The Financial Lives of the Poets, Jess Walter makes it so, and in the process, shows why he's one of the best American writers working today. It's all here—the bloated mortgage, the galloping credit card debt, the marriage teetering on the cliff-edge of bankruptcy—and it's a testament to this author's genius that I could not stop laughing even as he drives home some necessary truths. Jess Walter has written a profound, and profoundly funny book." - Ben Fountain. "Jess Walter's The Financial Lives of the Poets is a comic, graceful parable of marriage and money troubles in which a well-meaning family man makes decisions that are seriously stupid—and entertaining and American." - Sarah Vowell.
