Set in an America populated by petty and often pathetic gods, American Howl relates the struggle of food-service workers on a fateful Super Bowl Sunday. During the rush, a gang of delivery drivers revolts to exact vengeance upon abusive customers. While the drivers fight for dignity, the surge of orders for chicken wings and pizzas turns a gluttonous evening into a chaotic nightmare.
Juxtaposing the banal existence of wage-slaves with the conventions of ancient epics, American Howl entangles its listeners in a creation story blending myth and modern life. It is a rallying cry from within the steaming kitchens of the American food-service machine, and as we listen we find that we are the ones who are screaming.
