Clyde Barrow's last daydream suggests a different finale; a reanimated Nietzsche contemplates Hitler's checked trousers; a dream about fast food reveals the secret life of a supermodel; Christopher Columbus plays the ship's lounge with singing radio. In this surreal, whimsical, and darkly ironic first collection, Connolly agilely navigates the more devious turns of the contemporary psyche.
