Ballastre Revelations, set initially at the time of the World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium - 1959 - takes Wilson Balllastre across the ocean to be with his German 'pen-pal' Max. They visit the World's Fair, then a visit to Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Wilson goes on to Paris, France, then Spain and Britain. He goes back to Ohio, then again returns unexpectantly to Britain. On his travels, he has encounters with young women - a German, and American Model in Brussels, a Swedish docent, and a Canadian in Norway, Wilson's travels present some totally surprising revelations about himself, his family, and the entire American Ballastre family. In the process Wilson undergoes an identity change from an American middle-class naïf to a model of the modern British gentleman.
