Season 1, Chapters 1 to 8, presents ”A Mobster’s Midrash” read by the author, Michael Diamond. A gangster version of the Bible set in the 1970s/80s worlds of music and mobsters, A Mobster’s Midrash is a surreal fusion of mob‑family saga, retold mythologies, and cosmic satire. The shamus narrator tangles with crime syndicates, resurrected deities, musicians and misfits. Across its chapters, it reframes biblical and mythological archetypes—Isis, Osiris, pillars of fire and cloud—inside a comic‑noir world of clubs, Jersey highways, Union shakedowns, and psychedelic concert caravans. It’s an epic exploration of the art of the story—sacred, profane, and personal—imagined, broken, and recast. Season 2, chapters 9 to 16, presents "The Proceedings of the Academy of the Dream Society read by the author, Michael Diamond. The narrator, Boss Joey, or is it Jakey, picks up the narrative from the first book of the trilogy and takes it to the next plane, the world of dreams, the Interworld, the Bardo, though some would call it Purgatory. It is a sprawling, surreal, and metafictional autobiographical narrative that blends personal history with mythic symbolism, mystical lore, dream logic, and humorous reimaginings of religious and cultural traditions. The narrator moves between memory, fantasy, and metaphor as he encounters figures from the “Dream Society,” revisits key moments in his life, and reflects on identity, spirituality, suffering, and transformation. It a visionary epic—part memoir, part dream‑journal, part satire—with recurring motifs of initiation, wandering, healing, and the search for sovereignty.
