Jacksonville Daze

Synopsis

After two bungled operations by the evil team of "surgeons" Pinky & Perky at Hurstwood Park, England, for his rare, terminal brain tumour, Brian Fogarty falls into the hands of the wicked, but smugly gormless, twin-setted and pearled London witch Doctor Shortcrass who, for her own murky purposes hoodwinks him into flying 5000 miles on a wild goose chase to Jacksonville, Florida, where he's further experimented on in the clinic of world wonder Doctor Malyimpropa, a semi talking walrus who, for the next three months, subjects the already deeply traumatised author to high doses of Proton Beam radiotherapy. Resting up after each day's ordeal in his loft at Third & Main run by the delightful and enigmatic M.L, he distracts himself as best he can from the pain by writing these 85 poems.
