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

A recession era novel, about a man who invested in an internet startup, got cold feet, went back to his newspaper job, lost that job, and is now watching his world unravel as he is about to lose his house and also maybe his wife. Written in a very real tone, I could definitely identify with the protagonist, Matt Prior, even as he made some very poor choices.
