<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><em>Lights Out in Wonderland</em> has all the verbal wit and energy of <em>Vernon God Little</em>.--<em>Financial Times</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Gabriel Brockwell--aesthete, philosopher, disaffected twenty-something decadent--is thinking terminal. He's decided to kill himself--but not immediately. His destination is Wonderland. The style of the journey is all that's to be decided.<br /><br /> Traveling between London, Tokyo, and Berlin, Gabriel is in search of the bacchanal to obliterate all previous parties. His adventure takes in a spell in rehab, a near-death experience eating a poisonous Japanese delicacy, and finally an orgiastic feast in the bowels of Berlin's majestic Tempelhof Airport. Along the way, Gabriel falls apart, only to reemerge with a new outlook on the world and a mission to right his past wrongs.<br /><br /><em>Lights Out in Wonderland</em> is an allegorical banquet, a sly commentary on these End Times and the march toward banality, and a joyful expression of the human spirit.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>If any novelist can collate the killing irony of what is happening around us it is DBC Pierre.-- "The Guardian"<br>
