Publisher's Synopsis
Rife with vice and a pervading sense of loss, the decaying urban landscape of Midtown serves as an extension of the nature of self. The Threshold and the Key is a literary exorcism that combines the esoteric with reflections on the work of major writers like Nabokov, Burroughs, and Vila-Matas. It is a chronicle of one man's search for meaning through "The Threshold, the Key, the Library, the Flesh, the Smoke, and the Unknown."
