| 內容簡介: |
On his first assignment for a rapacious hedge fund, Gabriel
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk embarks to Bolivia at the end of 2005 to ferret out insider
information about the plans of the controversial president-elect.
If Gabriel succeeds, he will get a bonus that would make him secure
for life. Standing in his way are his headstrong mother, herself a
survivor of Pinochet’s Chile, and Gabriel’s new love interest, the
president’s passionate press liaison. Caught in a growing web of
lies and questioning his own role in profiting from an impoverished
people, Gabriel sets in motion a terrifying plan that could cost
him the love of all those he holds dear.
In the tradition of Martin Amis, Joshua Ferris, and Sam
Lipsyte—set against the stunning mountainous backdrop of La Paz and
interspersed with Bolivia’s sad history of stubborn survival—Peter
Mountford examines the critical choices a young man makes as his
world closes in on him.

While writing
about economics in Ecuador for a nonprofit think tank, Peter
Mountford noticed his byline read “senior associate” for a hedge
fund he’d never heard of. It turned out the think tank was running
the hedge fund out of its back office—inspiration for A Young
Man’s Guide to Late Capitalism. Mountford has lived in
Washington, D.C., New York, and Los Angeles, as well as Scotland,
Sri Lanka, Ecuador, and Southern Mexico. His fiction has appeared
in Best New American Voices 2008, Boston Review,
and Conjunctions.
