...Juan the Rib, The Most Wanted Terrorist in the World, the Sugar King, the Queen of Kent, the Hero of Socialist Labor, and various other minor characters. Despite a dense population and a strangely episodic narrative framework, each of Pilch’s characters reads as an emotional mirror; their struggles with alcoholism map a microcosm of the struggles of the human experience. Pilch seems to suggest that rehabilitation is an experience akin to religious purgation, or even experience in combat, referring to the time before and after as “civilian life.” Jerzy?...

Mangers at hedge funds and other unregulated market players are often reluctant to open their bets to scrutiny or reveal their positions in the market because doing so allows competitors to mirror trades and dilute profits. Many also view the paperwork and bureaucracy associated with tight regulations as time-consuming and expensive distractions from a funds’ ultimate goal: making money. These objections to oversight, however, ignore the potential damage that unregulated investing and high-risk betting can wreak. Unchecked hedge...
