  7. Babel
    1. Alan Burns

    Babel

  12. Dreamerika!
    1. Alan Burns

    Dreamerika!

    A Surrealist Fantasy

    Presented in a fragmented form that reflects society’s disintegration, Dreamerika! fuses fact and dream, resulting in a surreal biography, an alternate history which lays bare the corruption and excesses of capitalism just as the heady idealism of the 1960s has begun to fade.
