Synopsis "Altruria Big Apple"

She runs a billionaire's conscience. He's from a country that abolished money. This week is going to be a problem. Sloane is 34, chief of staff to Alden Vane — tech billionaire turned mega-philanthropist — engaged to a private-equity prince and fluent in the native language of New York power: the gala, the seating chart, the 4 a.m. email. Her job is to manage Alden's virtue. Then the foundation invites an envoy from Altruria — the island nation with no money, no rich, no poor, and a three-hour workday — and Sloane is assigned to mind him for summit week. Aris Homos is 42, silver at the temples, and constitutionally incapable of being impressed. He bows to doormen. He takes the subway. He asks the $5,000-a-plate gala where the poor are sitting — and does the math out loud. A widowed art collector decides to acquire him. Sloane's fiancé decides to use him. And Sloane, who has scheduled everyone else's conscience for six years, is starting to notice she can't find her own. A spicy satire of the new New York: philanthropy as the final luxury good, art as money laundering with better lighting, and sex as the city's other currency. The second novella in the Altruria series — a standalone story, though Maya Twelvemough does stop by for lunch.
