Here on 53rd street we are all about showing love to Jess Walter's latest book, The Financial Lives of the Poets. And, it turns, out, we're not alone. Sara Nelson hailed it as the "ultimate something-for-everyone-don’t-skip-must-read," Time Magazine called it “the funniest way-we-live-now book of the year,” and the hilarious-in-his-own-right Nick Hornby said it “made me laugh more than any other book published this year. Walter is one of my favorite young American writers, and he deserves to be huge.” I have to add my voice to the chorus: Walter's writing is sharp, authentic, and very, very funny.
