  “A picaresque novel to stop them all. Lusty, violent, wildly funny, it is a rigadoon of rascality, a bawled-out comic song of sex.” (Dorothy Parker, Esquire)   First published in Paris in 1955, and originally banned in the United States and Ireland, J. P. Donleavy’s debut novel has since been recognized around the world as the masterful portrait of a charming and shameless American abroad.   Meet Sebastian Dangerfield: husband, father, and American law student at Trinity College in Dublin. Awaiting news of his father’s death and the substantial inheritance to follow, Sebastian barely has time for his studies as he chases women, avoids bill collectors, and tries to survive without having to descend into the bottomless pit of steady work.   In the words of Sean O’Reilly, “this man has granted himself the appalling right to say and think whatever the hell he likes. Silver-tongued seducer, hoaxer, thief, violent marauder, fantasist and drunk, he’s a Yank into the bargain, the rank outsider and ‘great gas’ altogether. You cannot help yourself enjoying his outrageous company” (The Irish Times).

  This darkly comedic novel centers around a day in the life of an exhausted middle-aged hackie who’s about to lose his job to Uber, his girlfriend to lethargy, and his ability to stand upright to chronic back spasms. 
   Lou—a lapsed novelist and UFO enthusiast who has returned to his home state of Mississippi after decades away—drives for a ramshackle taxi company that operates on the outskirts of a college town among the trailer parks and housing projects. With Lou’s way of life fast vanishing, an ex-dispatcher returns to town on the lam, triggering a bedlam shift that will test Lou’s sanity and perhaps cost him his life. Against this backdrop, Lou has to keep driving and driving—even if that means aiding and abetting the host of criminal misfits haunting the back seat of his Town Car. 
   Written by a former cabbie, The Last Taxi Driver careens through the highways and backroads of North Mississippi as Lou becomes increasingly somnambulant and his fares increasingly eccentric.

  We'll have a gay, old time ... 
  There's nothing worse than a long ride in the car with AB, or so Kallie thinks as they head off to the Fairview Mountain Rehab Center to pay a visit to Trevor Darlington. But once they arrive, she finds there are some things that are indeed worse than Abuela-Blanca's kami-nazi driving -- such as running into Azure, her fashion designer from Model Middle America. 
  Only he's not Azure -- or is he? 
  Maybe? 
  There's nothing "Azure" about the pasty-faced, non-makeup wearing man who shares Azure's face, any more than Kallie is truly "Arlanda." Kallie's more than certain it's a twin thing, even as he begs her to keep his truly devastating secret for fear of losing his job, his clout, and his reputation ... 
  But when he consumes a radioactive doughnut, Kallie has no room for hesitation, and she fears her promise suddenly just got a lot harder to keep ... 
  Azure Skies is episode 9 in C. S. Johnson's superhero satire serial, Fatgirl. You'll never look at doughnuts the same way after consuming this series!
