Description
Rick Green is twenty-five years old, long on education but short on life experience. After graduating from Harvard Law School, he sets aside his idealistic ambitions and gives in to the lure of big money, joining one of New York's top firms at the peak of the 1980's leveraged buyout craze. He quickly finds himself overburdened with responsibility, doing battle with his conscience over matters he can barely understand.
His personal life is in turmoil, too. Chafing under his self-imposed control, he abandons his sweet, virginal girlfriend and takes up with a sexy, unpredictable woman who is out of his league. With temptations tugging at him everywhere, Green, in a drunken spree, slips insider information to a friend and soon finds himself in the middle of an SEC investigation - and a moral crisis that will test him to his core. Green's ordeal plays out against the Reagan-era backdrop of a failing Southern company and a turning point in American business.
Frantic and funny, with intriguing plot twists and an unexpected ending, Rick Green, Esquire is a noteworthy debut.
"I read 'Rick Green' with very considerable enjoyment," said Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22. "[Sawikin is] talented and funny and very gifted with dialogue." The Legal Times raved that it "races toward its conclusion with the speed and assuredness of a schooner at full sail... An impressive debut, a first novel deserving of your time."
