The Lehman Trilogy
by Stefano Massini
an Italian who writes about
Bavarian Jewish family
living in Alabama
trading cotton in 1850
who grow the business
into one of the largest banks in the world
when it fails in 2008.
From trading cotton to
trading money
somewhere they got lost.
It wasn't
too big
to fail.
The book is written
as an epic poem
like the Iliad or
the Odyssey.
Last year
Claire-Adele and I went to
the Museum of Modern Art
and saw the Robert Lehman Collection
with its own wing
and magnificent paintings
by masters
modern and ancient.
Robert Lehman died
the year I was born.
It is one of the most interesting books
I've started to read.
I want to read more
but instead I am here
attending to my blog.
Good night.
