Bibliography Information and notes: "

McSweeney, an old, possessed, staggering Irish work boat, and its captain Dave takes their ironic genius out on the world in this surrealist tradgedy. Taking place on the fantastic isle of Might on the Lee, where the depressed Eggers Lighthouse has stood in lonely unloved isolation, collecting the dust of centuries, a useless museum in which lives an aging parrot who can only repeat the heartbreaking phrase of charles dicken's little Timothy, "God Bless us.. one and all!", and a complete anthology of futuristic technologies, some of which resemble internet, failed lemon type technology, lies an untitled novel involving secrets revealed by ghosts of dead american authors.

Follow captain G.O. David as he sails and wanders about the island, its blue waters and the Eggers Lighthouse, discoursing with a tendency towards rhetoric amongst the castaway ghosts of dead american literature.
