Fantastic read. Funny thing, I'm from Chicago, born and raised. We have a very famous meteorologist here who retired not long ago from the station, WGN: Tom Skilling, Jeffrey's brother (and they seem like opposite humans). Another great story. Thank you!
It was a pleasure and you took me back. I spent 5 years on the Chicago Board of Trade(DOW futures). You captured the market as a character of its own and covered the illusion that fast wealth encapsulates a young person.
Gripping, and yet oddly distant, as if it were another reality, perhaps it was. Death by a thousand compromises is no different that by a thousand cuts. It is the protraction of death that makes it gruesome. Death, once dead, there's no more dying then. Great story, my first to read and shall not be my last. K
This is good, girl. Have you published this yet?
Thanks for reading! I haven’t yet but thanks for the nudge. I’m a guy btw lol. 😂
Sorry… 😣

Thank you Daria. I’m so glad you enjoyed it :)
OMG I’d so buy this book. I read the nonfiction version. Do you have a synopsis in your Stack?
Thank you so much. What is the nonfiction called?
The Smartest Guys in the Room by Elkind and McLean.
Allen, this story is fantastic, beautifully written, and a cautionary tale for our times.
Brilliantly poignant—I really enjoyed this
Thanks Jill. I appreciate your time you spent to read and comment.
