Described as a “fast and furious satire on contemporary decadence” (The Guardian), Lights Out In Wonderland is the third novel by Australian-born author DBC Pierre, the Booker Prize-winning author of Vernon God Little and Ludmila's Broken English.
Gabriel Brockwell is thinking terminal. He wants to chase his passion like it’s the last bus of the night. Travelling to London, Tokyo, Berlin and the Galapagos Islands, his pursuit of pleasure leads to a spell in rehab, a sexual encounter with an octopus, and an orgiastic feast in the bowels of Berlin’s majestic Tempelhof Airport.
Lights Out In Wonderland is both a remarkable international odyssey and a universal commentary on our times.
