Transcribed from the handwritten contents of a mysterious fleece-bound notebook, The Long Side of the Midnight Sun by Warren Decker 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 wizard dressed as a police officer, 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.
