Every night since his girlfriend left him, David Alexander's sleep has been troubled by vivid fantasies of suicide. After an unusual romantic encounter during an illusionist's performance, David's repressed post-breakup loneliness and depression begin to manifest themselves in increasingly bizarre and sometimes dangerous ways. Part surreal mystery, part hallucinatory tragicomedy, Kissing Oblivion details a week in the darkly funny life of a man whose bond with reality, and possibly space and time, has become severed to the point where he can no longer trust his own senses.
