Книга: Jess Walter «The Financial Lives of the Poets»
|
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. Издательство: "Harper Perennial" (2014) Формат: 115x180, 352 стр.
