Part memoir, part travelogue, part historical guide and part American business review, Wild Wild East follows the adventures of one man in his quest for a creatively meaningful life. From an adoption agency in Manhattan to the board rooms of corporate America and then on to the far east, WWE weaves a story from 1995 through 2005 and beyond with flashbacks from the authors life that grow chronologically until they catch up with him in real time. Throughout the telling the author travels the through over 30 countries as flashbacks occur every time he takes a trip, usually when he is on a plane when there is plenty of time for reflection. In this way the story builds upon itself in both complexity and understanding as to why the central character makes the decisions he does and travels the roads of fortune or less fortune as the case unfolds.
