Following up on my prior post, the NYU Graduate Tax Program is hosting a reading and discussion today of the new novel by Tax Prof Daniel N. Shaviro (NYU), Getting It (iUniverse, 2010):
Bill Doberman is a liar. He’s also a conniver, a phony, a hypocrite, and a cad — and those are his good points. But will it all be enough to save him on the Night of the Long Knives — when his law firm, Ashby & Cinders, picks, at most, one new partner — coming up in just six weeks?
His fellow associates hate him. The partner he’s working for wants to destroy him. And does Mr. Cinders, sitting at the top of the food chain, even know who he is?
Not to mention what Lyla will do if she catches him being unfaithful again …
“Evelyn Waugh meets John Grisham. Hilarious and gripping.” Tax Prof Joseph Bankman (Stanford)
