![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The biography of Rask and his wife Helen reveals a narrowly focused, solitary man who only loves manipulating the market to amass a fortune. Having recently read The Personal Librarian, that fictionalized one aspect of Morgan’s life, I had in mind some of Morgan’s story. The book begins with a short biography written by the fictional Harold Vanner about a titan of the world of finance, Benjamin Rask, whose life story made me think of J.P.Morgan. But in this case, I enjoyed having the feeling of slowly coming to understand what each of the four parts meant for the previous ones. Personally I do not mind knowing what to expect in my reading and in fact consider it a bonus to read with knowledge of what’s coming. While I rarely hesitate to divulge plot twists and probably should always post “spoiler alerts” on my posts, I want to limit that as much as possible for this one. ![]()
