Description
Description
- “American Sucker” by David Denby is a candid memoir chronicling the New Yorker film critic’s ill-fated plunge into the stock market during the 2000-2001 tech boom, triggered by his wife’s departure and a desperate bid to earn $1 million for their apartment. Amid irrational exuberance, Denby’s investments in figures like Henry Blodget and Sam Waksal lead to heavy losses, blending personal turmoil with sharp critiques of Wall Street’s hype and greed.
