Wall Street Fiction @ Bookstore
A Wall Street whiz who is also a novelist will be at the Colgate Bookstore Feb. 25
Wealth advisor-turned-novelist Norb Vonnegut (a distant cousin of mega-novelist Kurt Vonnegut) will read from and discuss his new Wall Street thriller Top Producer at 7 p.m. at the Colgate Bookstore. A book-signing and reception will follow.
This event is free and open to the public. Copies of the book are available at a 25% discount at the Colgate Bookstore.
In Top Producer, protagonist Grove O'Rourke is a rising star at a brokerage firm, and after he and several hundred others witness his close friend die, Grove sets out to help Charlie's widow. It seems the money Charlie was managing seems to have vanished.
Publisher's Weekly, in a starred review, called Top Producer "The gold standard for financial thrillers." It was a "This Week's Hot Reads" selection at The Daily Beast, and a recommended book in USA Today and Smart Money.
Norb Vonnegut built an extensive career with Morgan Stanley, Paine Webber, and other Wall Street institutions. He graduated from Harvard College in 1980 and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1986.
Norb Vonnegut is now editing The Fund, a thriller scheduled to print in the winter of 2010/2011. For more info on Norb's Wall Street thrillers, visit his author website, www.norbvonnegut.com. Or visit his blog, www.acrimoney.com, for non-fiction insights into today's financial news.
