A review by amycrea
The Financial Lives of the Poets by Jess Walter

4.0

It's so hard to sustain a wildly comic tone, but Walter succeeds in this darkly funny at life on the edge of financial ruin and marital discord. Now I want to read his other books, which I'd guess is one of the highest compliments I could pay. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is I thought the ending was rushed and--well, no spoilers. But overall, great read.
