Synopsis of Cityboy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile

«Cityboy: Beer and Loathing in the Square Mile» is the autobiography of Geraint Anderson, published by Headline in paperback (432 pages, in English).

Geraint Anderson recounts his experience as an analyst at a London investment bank and breaks the silence on what goes on behind the scenes in the City: six-figure bonuses, outsized egos and a working environment marked by alcohol and substance abuse. His rise in a fiercely competitive and morally ambiguous industry nearly cost him his sanity.

The book is aimed at readers interested in finance, banking and learning about the less pleasant side of London's financial district.
