7:30 PM – Jacqueline Novogratz: Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World
Elliott Bay Book Co.
Microfinance is a fascinating topic, and Novogratz’s book should be equally fascinating; unfortunately, it’s not. Novogratz can’t make up her mind whether she’s writing a memoir or a primer on eliminating global poverty, so neither end is served. Very sad. I hope she writes another, more focused, book. Or three.
