I Would Give My Left Arm to Write Like This

The novel is one of the best that I have read in quite sometime. McConnell's Gsrnish speaks with a clarity that I have actually seen in some alcoholics. I'm not trying to be funny, but this novel does use a lot of adjectives but somehow it works. Ray Carver once wrote that once he saw Gimmicks he would run for cover, but it just somw how works; similarly to a Charles Bukowski story. Keep on writing Brother because this novel rules!

28 year veteran of the bond business likes Liar's Poker

His characters are hilarious and not uncommon in my experience in the bond business in the 70's and 80's. There is a lot of color in the bond side which is lacking on the equity sude and the author did a good job of bring this out. Good job.
