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. 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. Lights Out in Wonderland is an
allegorical banquet, a sly commentary on these End Times and the
march toward banality, and a joyful expression of the human spirit.
