Description

Would you sell your soul to a sociopathic hedge fund titan for tens of millions in dirty cash? What about your sexy wife? What if it meant cozying up to a neurotic and lecherous tech entrepreneur while risking your freedom, and maybe even your life?

Snatch 2&20 is a satirical memoir parodying the author’s past life as a hedge fund manager. It should not only be of interest to the fans of the hit TV shows Billions and Silicon Valley, and books like The Wolf of Wall Street and Liar’s Poker, but to anyone who wants an insider’s take on the rotten core of our delusional plutocracy in this second Gilded Age.

If you just say no to innuendo, then please enter with caution (as the strumpet said to the stiff). But just remember that, in this case, the only thing more offensive than the jokes is the truth they pillory- the corruption of our financial elites and the system that enables them, the ludicrous hype surrounding technology companies and their founders, and the blatant hypocrisy of pretty much everyone. It is also, perhaps, one man’s journey to find a grain of meaning in the castle of sand that is his life.

“Gloriously sardonic…a riotous ride for readers…fast-paced and often hilarious fiction.”- Kirkus Reviews. “A remarkable debut novel…Among the top stories I’ve read so far this year”- Reader Views; “A raucous story told by a brilliant mind…the novel sings like a satirical sword.”- Self-Publishing Review; “…readers will not be bored.”- Indie Reader. “A clever, cynical novel.”- Foreword Clarion. “Complex, witty, dramatic…engrossing, unexpected, and hard to put down.”- Midwest Book Review.

Luke Fellows is a forty-something recovering hedge fund manager. Born in London, he sacrificed his love of Classics for a Wall Street career, moving to New York City in 2000. After a sojourn at Harvard Business School, he made the leap to Silicon Valley, where he co-founded a technology-focused hedge fund, retiring as soon as his partners could practicably get rid of him. Despite his best efforts to escape the bubble, he still lives with his wife and three daughters near Palo Alto, CA. Snatch 2&20 is the first novel he is admitting to.
