What could be more timely than an epic, award-winning (Pulitzer, Tony) American drama about money problems?

Well, for one thing, no one will ever confuse the Lehman boys with Willy Loman, the hero of Arthur Miller’sIn the latter, Willy was a victim of American business culture, someone who built his fragile dream on a reality that wasn’t really there.

However, before long, Henry has the epiphany that he needs to expand the line to meet the needs of the locals, many of whom happen to be cotton plantation owners – and before long, Henry, with the assistance of his siblings Emmanuel and Mayer , is selling seeds, and tools and boots and straw hats too.

But just as Emmanuel might start to get comfortable, considering that the cotton brokering business has made him, by his own description, “one of New York’s richest bachelors,” the Civil War breaks out, shattering a business model built on slavery. Rubenfeld, as patriarch Henry and then a collection of Lehmans ranging from little kids to girlfriends, is wonderful.
