Des banlieues de Paris aux clubs de junkies berlinois, des festivals ensoleillés d'Islande aux éveils métaphysiques de l'Asie, d'une Europe au bord de la destruction aux révélations bouleversantes générées par la DMT, voici le journal d'une éblouissante, intime et profonde célébration de l'art et du vieillissement, du sexe et du désir, des limites de la pensée et des sensations extrêmes.
N'importe où sauf ici confirme le statut de Doyle comme l'un des auteurs les plus originaux de la littérature contemporaine irlandaise.

'A wild, sleazy, drug-filled odyssey ... Doyle's maverick novel deserves the accolades coming its way' Independent 'The best work to date from a writer who gets better and better with each release' Irish Indepdendent 'A masterclass in what not to do' New Statesman 'His best book so far: riddling, irreverent, fearless' TLS 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.
On a lurid pilgrimage for cheap thrills and universal truth, Doyle's narrator takes us from the menacing peripheries of Paris to the drug-fuelled clubland of Berlin, from art festivals to sun-kissed islands, through metaphysical awakenings in Asia and the brink of destruction in Europe, into the shattering revelations brought on by the psychedelic DMT.
A dazzling, intimate, and profound celebration of art and ageing, sex and desire, the limits of thought and the extremes of sensation, Threshold confirms Doyle as one of the most original writers in contemporary literature.>
