Culligan's Wake Author:Paul Sullivan Culligan's Wake is a tale of a roguish rebel on the loose in New York in the 1970's. B. J. Culligan seems unable to conform. Blessed (cursed) with an appetite for carnal adventure fueled by alcohol, Culligan cavorts through New York and St. Patrick's Day in a quest for his own redemption...accompanied by laughs, high jinks, and high hopes.
