Chapter one. An American businessman succeeds in amassing a huge fortune in the 1930s.

An American businessman succeeds in amassing a huge fortune in the 1930s. He is married to Mildred, and Andrew Bevel becomes Manhattan’s lover before the latter dies of cancer. Which story is correct? This is what you will discover if you have the courage to read this novel that resembles a Christopher Nolan movie, without Christopher Nolan directing it. There is no doubt that Hernan Díaz, who won the Pulitzer Prize for this book, knows how to be convincing when describing financial flows.
