Confessions of a Taoist on Wall Street
Confessions of a Taoist on Wall Street | David Payne
2 posts | 2 to read
From the tranquility of an Oriental monastery to the tumult of the New York Stock Exchange, the hero of this amazing novel embarks on a quest for a father, a fortune, and the ultimate essence of the universe. The illegitimate son of a Chinese woman and an American officer, he was reared as an orphan by Taoist monks. When he learns that his father may be a wealthy Wall Street entrepreneur, he feels compelled to go to New York. His efforts to reconcile his two lives -- to find the Tao in the Dow -- make a story rich in character, wit, and insight.

#curiouscovers #gray Those Sayers from a certain era always had gray borders and that stick deco font .the Thich Nhat Hanh was a one spirit book club selection. I read tagged book years ago and loved it . I wonder what I would think of it now.I‘ve held on to it through many moves , maybe I should read it again.
