Sinead O'Connor and her Coat of a Thousand Bluebirds
This book is not about Sinéad O’Connor or the gathering impulse of blue birds or the rotten plans of serge-robed men or Aunt Foxy’s potted peppers. Even we, its progenitors, will see this book on a shelf somewhere someday and think: Now we will learn all there is to learn about Sinéad O’Connor and her coat of a thousand bluebirds, having forgotten the way human beings forget the importance of remembering. But Sinéad will always remain the ethereal Sinéad, and the path to the shorn woman with the songbird’s throat will remain (un)regrettably undetectable.

This is a book about songs. Detectable as blue birds against a white wall against a memory board that contains the only record of Bette Davis moshing. It's about Steve and Hector or impressions of them stumbling through storm weather. But it's really not about them, or their teddy bears. It's about our personal interior landscapes that fracture and wind around each other like a tornado winds around the wind. This book is about weathermen and pink-eyed women. And thermospheres. We have no idea what this book is about. Ask Sallie.
