- Summary:
- Rob has spent most of his confusing adult life wandering, writing, and imbibing literature and narcotics in equally vast doses. Now, stranded between reckless youth and middle age, between exaltation and despair, his travels have acquired a de facto purpose: the immemorial quest for transcendent meaning.
- "Our narrator has spent the last two decades travelling, writing and imbibing drugs and literature in equally vast doses. Now, stranded between reckless youth and middle age, his travels to far-flung places have acquired a de facto purpose: to aid the contemporary artist's search for universal truth. From Buddhist serenity to the brink of madness, with one foot in reality and one firmly in the hallucinatory beyond, Threshold explores the club-drug communalism of the Berlin underworld, the bizarro experience of literary tourism in Paris, and the shattering and world-rebuilding revelations brought on by the psychedelic DMT, the so-called 'spirit molecule'."--Provided by publisher.
