Wild about Harry reads, at times, like fiction. It's the tale of an improbable hero, the nation's only Chinese-American Sheriff, a brash, 350-pound cowboy who sings with Willie Nelson, hunts with Steven Seagal, threw parties on the White House lawn with Bill Clinton and uses his political power to raise big money, most of which he gives to charity. Born in the back room of a Chinese Laundry in New Orleans, Harry Lee followed the ritual of expection set by his immigrant parents. One of eight children and the eldest son, Harry became a successful businessman, attorney, elected official, civic leader and philanthropist. While protecting the people of Jefferson Parish since 1979, Lee has elevated political incorrectness to high art, and yet, as an elected public official, has earned the highest popularity rating in the state's history. Deno Seder presents a vivid portrait of a man who embraces life with gusto - a man who has been loved, honored, vilified, satirized, but never ignored. Seder's mosaic also reflects the environment that helped create Henry Lee - the peculiar world of Louisiana politics and the colorful characters who inhabit that world. Media ><
