Summary
The story begins last year and is set in the IFSC in Dublin. Anthony Thompson is holed up in a toilet due to stress before the beginning of yet another work week. At 24 years old he already has all the key qualities required for working in the funds industry-he’s brash, confident, and most importantly a sociopath. Anthony desperately hates his job, which is only usurped by his hatred of the Celtic Tiger. He resents how it changed people, the narcissism it bred, and the air of entitlement/expectancy it instils in people. Most of all he hates himself for not only being born a tiger cub, but for his own heavy reliance on its blood money and his rat like acceptance of the situation.
Writer’s Note
In a nutshell I’m trying to explore the darker side of funds-politics, sex, drugs, depression and deceit.
