Walter’s third novel (Citizen Vince, The Zero) tells the story of a week in the life of Matt Prior. Prior is unemployed and in debt, his Web site offering financial journalism in blank verse is a failure, and his marriage is teetering on the edge. As Prior hits bottom, Walter paints a devastating and yet funny picture of the American dream struggling for its life.
