Vik has a problem - an inability to sit still. From a childhood in suburban Pennsylvania, to an increasingly chaotic globetrotting lifestyle, his affliction has only become more severe. In Equestrian Under the Influence, Milan reflects on a decade spent in planes, trains, and unmarked vans, always finding a way to escape from the comfort of home, often with a pretentious drink in-hand. Equestrian Under the Influence finds Milan in thirteen countries under a variety of questionable circumstances, such as incorporating wine into equine sports, receiving a daily mugging in the Caribbean, fleeing handsome ladies of the night, and getting rushed to the hospital in Mexico by his assailant, all while sampling the local libations of countries worldwide. He also discovers that maybe we aren't all so different, and everyone can find common ground across cultures, often in a highball glass over ice. In his debut novel, Vik Milan shares his experiences from around the world with a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek humor and fresh approach to storytelling that will delight anyone with chronic wanderlust and a penchant for cocktails.
