He fantasizes about saving damsels in distress and battling beasts. He’d better be careful what he wishes for…

Will Kirby has hit his mid-life crisis at full speed. Once a rugged outdoorsman, he’s now soft around the middle and trapped in the banality of minivans, suburbia, and his eight-year-old’s dance recitals. But his constant daydreams of heroic adventure suddenly fall within his grasp when an old pulp author’s journals reveal a portal to another world.

Immediately forced to rescue two gorgeous babes from attack by a Japanese Zero, Will lands ashore on an island paradise brimming with adrenaline-pumping action and consequence-free sex. But with danger around every turn and the faint call of his former life tugging at his mind, he wonders if his fantasy has turned into a deranged nightmare.

Can Will discover what it really means to be a man before he’s forever lost to an illusion?

Escape from Oblivia is a postmodernist homage to the men’s adventure fiction of the 1950s. It’s a satirical exploration of modern man’s attempt to reconcile the sexist hero role model handed him by pre-feminist generations with today’s less defined, and more complex expectations of a man.

If you like magical realism, absurdist fiction, and satirical stabs at tired tropes, then you’ll love Brian Kindall’s racy romp into freedom.
