Diary of a Very Bad Year: Confessions of an Anonymous Hedge Fund Manager

n+1's first book with a major publisher, Diary of a Very Bad Year traces the coming of the financial crisis in real-time from mid-2007 to late 2009 in a series of back-and-forth interviews. Certainly the strangest and also, we think, the funniest and most granularly informative book about the crisis, it shows a remarkable financial mind facing down a historic collapse of the system on which he's based his trust. "Diary of a Very Bad Year is a rarity: a book on modern finance that’s both extraordinarily thoughtful and enormously entertaining." —James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds "Eminently readable." —The Financial Times "A great read. . . . HFM offers a brilliant financial professional’s view of the economic situation in real time, from September 2007, when problems in financial markets began to surface, until late summer 2009." —Booklist Published by HarperPerennial, June 2010. 272 pages. Perfect bound, 8 x 5".
