Merry-Go-Round Broke Down is a novel about globalization, told through nine interlinked stories of hope, greed, ambition, and guilt. Opening in New York City on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis, two armed men storm the famed Bull & Bear Bar of the Waldorf Astoria and take everyone inside hostage. Among the captives are an American corporate raider, a Chinese tycoon, a British hedge-fund manager, a Japanese housewife-turned-celebrity, a Mexican undocumented worker, a Wall Street bond salesman, and a Norwegian environmentalist.
