Magic Alex's Revenge

By Michael O'Leary

Magic Alex's Revenge is the final instalment of Michael O'Leary’s trilogy, The Dreamlander Express. Following on from the first two parts, Unlevel Crossings and Straight, Magic Alex is a complex and often beguiling look at the ‘Sixties’ generation of peace and love and anti-materialism degenerated into the ‘I, me, mine’ selfishness sparked by the mid-eighties Rogernomics which continues into the 21st Century Schizoid Person, fuelled by technology and greed. Magic Alex also contrasts the Beatles in the 1960s with the 'All You Need Is Hate' of the 1930s epoch of Nazi Germany, how both used technology, one to emphasise good the other evil. Magic Alex's Revenge is a cultural and individual tour de force through the 20th Century and early 21st, it incorporates one person's attempt to understand and ride the nightmarish Dreamlander Express.
