Overview

Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award and the Publishing Triangle Edmund White Award, Ioannis Pappos's debut novel offers a portrait of privilege, aspiration, and international finance. Set between 9/11 and the 2008 financial collapse, the narrative follows Stathis Rakis, who leaves his Greek village for a life in San Francisco and Paris. As he pursues an MBA and enters the corporate world, Stathis navigates a path of indulgence, drugs, sex, and insider trading, all while grappling with loneliness and the search for human connection.
