An Evening with Michael Lewis

Michael Lewis returns to the financial world with his new book, Flash Boys that gives readers a ringside seat as the biggest story in years prepares to hit Wall Street.

Michael Lewis has published many books on various subjects, all but one of them New York Times best sellers. His most recent works are The Big Short and Boomerang, narratives set in the global financial crisis. The Blind Side, published in 2006, tells the story of Michael Oher, a poor, illiterate African-American kid living on the streets of Memphis whose life is transformed after he is adopted by white Evangelical Christians. Before that, he wrote Moneyball, a book ostensibly about baseball but also about the way markets value people. Both of his books about sports became Academy Award nominated films. His other works include The New New Thing, about Silicon Valley during the Internet boom; Coach, about the transformative powers of his own high school baseball coach; Losers, about the 1996 Presidential campaign; and Liar's Poker, a Wall Street story based in part on his own experience working as a bond salesman for Salomon Brothers.
