“The Tragic Kingdom, or; Prisoner in a Chinese Theme Park”, is a behind-the-scenes look into the field of design and build in China. The book is a profile of the personalities, culture, and psychology of the world’s most massive looming superpower as seen through the eyes of an ex-pat American . I have lived and worked in China for over ten years, competing within their system and making my way as everything from a freelance artist in small operations to a senior designer for large corporations. I have witnessed a formidable decade in which China has commanded a modern presence on the world stage and have participated in the planning, designing, and building of mega-theme parks in Beijing, world-class aquariums in Shanghai, gigantic malls in the Pearl Delta, resorts in Tibet, and panda relocation projects in the foothills of the Himalayas.
I have discovered that the struggle to earn a living and attain a voice in a land and culture so ultimately foreign to my own has forced me to embrace new avenues of perception because without them I never would have survived, let alone thrived, in such an alien landscape.
The stories and themes found in The Tragic Kingdom spring from one man’s journey. At the same time I believe they disclose truths about a globalization that eventually will impact every economy, lifestyle, and person on the planet.
