Odysseus: His Americanization

This fiction is a historical epic concerning an illegal immigrant who chases the "American Dream". He achieves it at the expense of his heritage and perhaps his soul. This Odyssey starts in an immigrant neighborhood but evolves into a journey with university avant-garde students. Their dead end road leads him to the American Business School geared for middle management. Here, he steps into a new mind-set. He evolves through the corporate ladder, but a corporate buy out throws him unknowingly into a den of Latin American Espionage and trading weapons for cocaine. When he arrives back to Chicago he becomes a business mogul with all of the trappings of the rich and famous. September 11 2001 shakes him up.
