In a quest for utopia, Alan and Marilyn embark on a hedonistic journey with a view to escaping their dull suburban lives. Through vivid imagery and frightening hallucinations, their search for liberation unveils more than they bargained for.

The incantation of a self-fulfilling prophecy, Baker Blues explores how even the best of human intentions can quickly descend into madness and despair. The novel portrays the path of a young artist in search of higher ground, leading to the transcendence of conventional conceptions of modernity.

"Alan Baker's obsession with, and courtship of, the enigmatic Judge's daughter, propels him into a strange and increasingly dangerous world. Locked in a bitter feud over who will inherit the estate, the already unstable family is torn apart as their lives spiral evermore out of control. Blurring the lines between imagination and reality, Baker Blues takes the reader on a unique journey into the absurdity of human existence."

The novel explores themes of grief and loss, juxtaposed with the redeeming ideals of hope and creativity.
