Young, handsome, intelligent, and gay, he hopes to escape his Rust Belt poverty and give his mother a better life by pursuing a career in high finance. But by the spring of 2016, Alistairs plan has come undone: His fantasy banking job has eluded him, hes mired in student debt, and in his desperation hes gone to work for an enigmatic billionaire whose ambitions turn out to be far darker than Alistair could have imagined. By the time Alistair uncovers his employers secret, his life is in danger and hes forced to go on the run. Meanwhile, Alistairs paramours, an older couple named Mark and Elijah, must face their own moral and financial dilemmas. Mark, nearing the end of his trust fund, takes a job with his fathers mobile-home empire that forces him to confront the unsavory foundations of his familys wealth, while Elijah, a failed painter, throws in his lot with an artist-provocateur whose latest project transforms the countrys political chaos into a thing of alluring, amoral beauty. As the nation hurtles toward a breaking point, Alistair, Mark, and Elijah must band together to save one another and themselves. Propulsive, exuberant, and profoundly observed, Ways and Means is an indelible, clear-eyed investigation of class and ambition, sex and art, and politics and power in twenty-first century America.
