As a doctoral student at Trinity College Dublin, Darren Walton is trying to decode an elaborate conspiracy he stumbled across as an undergraduate. To do so he must locate an alternate Ireland named Camland, the existence of which is proven when he discovers a literary journal whose contents mirror his own past.
With proof of his wild theories, Darren is sure academic fame is imminient. But for this he is willing to scarifice not just his sanity and physical safety, but also his relationships with the ones who love him most.
In breathless prose, Declan Toohey weaves a contemporary yarn of academic intrigue and youthful irreverance, sexual fluidity and neurodiversity. Experimental, trippy, hilarious, compassionate, Perpetual Comedown is a riotous reckoning in the construction of the self.
