From the author of the bestselling Beautiful Ruins comes The Financial Lives of Poets - a brilliantly funny novel about a man who, in an attempt to save himself, may destroy everything he loves. He's about to lose his job, his house, his wife, and maybe his sanity too. Meet Matt Prior.
Only now he's woken up to the biggest crisis since the Great Crash, and it has. Financial journalist Matt quit his job to set up a website which couldn't fail. He's got six days to save his house.
It's hard to focus when your wife's having an online affair with her childhood sweetheart, but there are children to think about...So when he gets hold of some high-grade dope and finds he can sell a piece on at a profit, he begins to think this might be his salvation.

(Metro).
