Harlan Wilson turns to James Joyce's Ulysses as a source of inspiration, entertainment, and social commentary. Outré tells the story of an aging movie star battling the tyranny of filmmaker Donovan Ogg and an antagonistic, seemingly omnipotent Studio. Set in an irreal dystopia, Usurper focuses on Donovan's prodigal son, Caliban Ogg, who cannot crawl out from under the shadow of his father's massive legacy as he struggles to adapt the so-called "Doomsday Edition" of…
