"As gritty and shrewd as Chicago itself, Coyote Loop brilliantly probes the underbelly of our city's famed trading pit in the nadir of 2008, where brutality and grace collide in John Ganzi: South Sider, struggling dad, and a character I won't soon forget." --Emily Gray Tedrowe, author of The Talented Miss Farwell
"In John Ganzi, Fiore gives us a fast-talking, foul-mouthed, money grubbing options trader we would love to hate-if only we could. As he navigates fatherhood and friendship, and runs headlong into his own tragic flaws, he earns our hearts." --Heather Newton, author of Under The Mercy Trees
"Irreverent, funny, heartfelt...Coyote Loop drops us into a bull pit in Chicago at the peak of the '08 recession, guided by a trader's voice that seems the very eye to our human condition. Masterfully spun and deeply entertaining, Fiore has delivered us a literary grenade with the pin pulled." --Owen Duffy, author of One Summer on Cutthroat Lake, /p>
"Fiore paints this world with the practiced hand of a skilled writer as a man and a city are on the verge of change. Like all good fiction, Coyote Loop takes us to a place we hadn't expected, yet somehow entertains and informs at the same time. This is a novel you don't want to miss." --Steve Cushman, author of Hopscotch: a Novel
