Today is the release day for “The Financial Lives of The Poets” by Jess Walter.  Apparently, he’s getting love from well-known British author Nick Hornby, author of the novels “High Fidelity,” “About a Boy” and “Fever Pitch.”  The Daily Beast lists it among This Week’s Hot Reads.

My hometown paper and former employer, The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington, published a Q&A with Jess Walter on spokesman.com:

Jess Walter’s new novel, “The Financial Lives of the Poets,” hits bookstores Tuesday and is already getting plenty of excellent critical attention. British novelist Nick Hornby chose it for his “Recommended Reading” list in People magazine this week, calling it “a laugh-out-loud and desperately painful account of an economy and a marriage in meltdown.”
