In this follow-up to The Adventures of Blue Avenger, sixteen-year-old Blue finds a way to send his girlfriend, Omaha Nebraska Brown, to Rome in order to meet her long-lost father. Later, Blue himself travels to Venice, where he tries to solve the mystery of who really wrote Shakespeare's plays. The plot sprawls in dozens of directions in this high energy, thought-provoking novel, which is related in an idiosyncratic omniscient voice.
