In Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World (W.W. Norton, 213 pp.), Michael Lewis touches down in the nations damaged by the 2008 financial meltdown and proves yet again that he can turn any subject into irresistibly readable prose. Monitor books editor Marjorie Kehe writes of “Boomerang” that – between Lewis’s witty style and his horrifying subject matter – “you won’t know whether to laugh or cry while reading it.” (CSMonitor.com, 10/13/11)
