When Mitch finds himself unceremoniously dumped by his fiancée, he doesn't get too worked up about it. Instead, he moves to London in search of a career and soon finds himself reveling in the anonymity of being a carefree young man in one of the world's most exciting cities. As he climbs the corporate ladder with an ease that makes him the target of his less fortunate co-workers, Mitch embarks on a series of inappropriate affairs, gets entangled with a series of roommates including an elderly (and unpredictably violent) woman he finds himself serving as the unwilling companion to. His intimate confessions and musings are simultaneously delightful and embarrassing to the reader, as this average college graduate finds himself irresistibly drawn to extreme characters, wild situations, and bad decisions. In Wanton Times, a satirical and witty take on Catcher in the Rye, you'll find the tale of a contemporary everyman who doggedly refuses to grow up. He may be apathetic, unprincipled, and living with complete disregard for consequences-but he's entirely entertaining.
