Book summary

English comedian Robert Newman's satire takes aim at globalization, Nafta, and the World Trade Organization with the story of two Mexican brothers who were separated as children. Evan grew up in upper-class England and is now a corporation man. Chano remained in Mexico, and is now poor, angry, and ready to go into action at the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle. What brings them together is the fact that Evan has leukemia, and he needs a bone marrow transfusion from his brother.
