The Financial Lives of the Poets by Jess Walter

4.0

This is a great book about our economic and poetic malaise. Chalida thinks it's a boy's book, and I wouldn't deny it. The main character's challenges and strategies are certainly connected to the gender expectations of a father and husband. That seems to sell it short though and I highly recommend this hilarious account of one man's struggle to get his head and family above water despite the sinking economy.
