| Publisher Description: "Diary of a Very Bad Year is a rarity: a book on modern finance that's both extraordinarily thoughtful and enormously entertaining."-- James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds "A great read. . . . HFM offers a brilliant financial professional's view of the economic situation in real time, from September 2007, when problems in financial markets began to surface, until late summer 2009."-- Booklist "n+1 is the rightful heir to Partisan Review and the New York Review of Books. It is rigorous, curious and provocative." -- Malcolm Gladwell A profoundly candid and captivating account of the economic crisis and subprime mortgage collapse, from an anonymous hedge fund manager, as told to the editors of New York literary magazine n+1. |
