Michael Lewis on Geithner’s Memoir

Michael Lewis: “He’s written a really good book — we might as well get that out of the way, as so much else about Timothy F. Geithner remains unsettled.”

“Geithner is clearly more at ease, and more himself, on the page than on the stage or the screen — which is, for an American public figure, both odd and charming. So much so that I finished his book half wishing he had just skipped all of the public performances required of him as Treasury secretary and instead written out what he had to say and handed it to an actor — say, Denzel Washington — to perform.”
