A stylish and hilarious novel about the lives and loves of well-to-do young Manhattanites in their first year on Wall Street - destined to become one of the year's most talked-about debuts.
Dana Vachon was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, raised in Chappaqua, New York, and graduated from Duke University - as he claims, 'cum nihil' - in 2002. After graduation, he worked as an analyst at JPMorgan. His writing has appeared in the International Herald Tribune, Men's Vogue, the New York Times and Salon. He lives in New York City.
