Overview
Al Capone, his brain ravaged by syphilis, wanders in his retirement home in Florida, talking to himself, revisiting conversations he had years ago, trying to make sense of his life. The girls, the murders, glories and horrors of his mobster past mix with memories of his childhood and his time in prison, his hatred and his growing dementia. Here is a rich, funny, horrifying and moving outsider's view of America in the first half of the twentieth century.
