Does anyone have any further details about Morrissey's short story, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi? He wrote it when he was very young, and it's about three siblings living in a run-down New York tenemant with their manipulative, bed-ridden mother. They each have a secret life - one a homosexual, one an adulteress, and one a prostitute. When mother dies, rather than embrace freedom they continue their double lives, living together uneasily. That's the info in the Rogan book. Anything more? Has anyone actually read it?

I dunno, but it sounds like it could be a screenplay. I've recently seen two movies that revolve around the dysfunctional lives of 3 siblings (Haunted and The House of Yes.)¿ Does anyone have any further details about Morrissey's short¿ story, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi?

The House of Yes only involves two siblings.

Twins (sister & bro) and a younger bro. That makes 3.
