Join the Stop Smiling crew this eve for a reading by journalist Emily White, wrote a book about the 1990s celebrity financial advisor and “Scammer to the Stars” Dana Giacchetto. She was also friends with him. And lost money because of him. In You Will Make Money In Your Sleep, White probes his misdoings and personality, and the fact that she knew him (a visit to him in jail prompted this book), “lends the narrative an unexpected emotional urgency as White struggles with her diffidence and complicity in Giacchetto’s impossible promises of effortless wealth.” So sez Kirkus reviews. By the by, White is also the author of Fast Girls: Teenage Tribes and the Myth of the Slut.
