Transcribed from the handwritten contents of a mysterious fleece-bound notebook, The Long Side of the Midnight Sun is a poetic drama in eighteen acts which tells the story of our hero, Craig, who travels with his wife and son from Osaka to Maryland for a Christmas reunion with his extended family. The cast of characters includes a Crappy English Textbook, Lou Reed, a holographic Ingrid Bergman, a Donkey Clock, Socrates and many others. A brilliant example of formal verse, the book is always witty, and frequently hilarious - but is also able to swerve suddenly into a moving seriousness.

Autorenporträt
Warren Decker lives in Izumi, Japan, trapped in his doubts, but presuming he can write his way out by rhyming each line with his feet keeping time. He aspires to shine like a luminous wave of blinding compassion but was just a dim ripple the last time we asked him.
