September sees publication of LIGHTS OUT IN WONDERLAND, DBC Pierre’s third novel; in some ways the concluding fiction in what he has referred to as an End Times Trilogy.
As Faber editor Lee Brackstone says, ‘Lights Out in Wonderland takes as its setting, London, Tokyo and Berlin – and an earlier version of the novel (the original draft of which ran to over 800 pages) – included chapters set on the Galapagos Islands. As someone who grew up in Mexico, with an Australian birth certificate and British parents, now resident in Ireland, Pierre’s fiction is truly global: his imagination is fired by the degradation, perversions and abuses that dominate the narrative of these times, whether it be the circumstances around mass murder and the perverse celebrity this can bring, or a character’s pursuit of pleasure to the cost of all else around him.’
