Threshold

Rob has spent the best part of his adult life travelling, writing and imbibing drugs and literature in equally vast doses. Now, stranded between reckless youth and middle age, his travels have acquired a de facto purpose: the age-old, impossible quest for meaning. On a technicolour pilgrimage for cheap thrills and universal truth, Doyle's narrator takes us from the literary gravesites of Paris to the drug-fuelled club world of Berlin, through Buddhist awakenings and the depths of psychic unreality into the shattering revelations brought on by the psychedelic DMT.
