About this book
Hendrik Rutgers wants a raise, more freedom, and a life beyond his bank ledger. His request meets a cashier who would rather think about fishing, and a spring walk through New York turns his dissatisfaction into a sweeping argument with the city's devotion to money. Edwin Lefevre builds his satire around a confident young man whose quick speech and grand ambitions make even ordinary workplace exchanges into contests.
The novel brings banking, advertising, labor, and public reputation into the same comic world. In a later conversation with Bishop Phillipson, Rutgers presents himself as someone who can fill churches, applying the language of business efficiency to religious life. The humor comes through interruptions, exaggerated claims, and the gap between what people say and what they value.
