Wagner drafted The Adventures of the Imagination of Periphery Stowe<\/a><\/em> during a six-week journey through India, and despite his love of reason & science, is convinced many of the themes came up through the ground and possessed his finger bones.

In search of a cure for the poison that is slowly killing him, Riggs Bombay, the boy who is not afraid of one single thing, sets off in a lung-shaped airship, his toxic hallucinations in tow. While navigating through physical, mental, and spiritual realms, Riggs discovers a most peculiar book, which drives his quest to the farthest reaches of the universe. There, despite the efforts of power-hungry scoundrels, eccentric philosophers, insatiable spirits, and creepy old men, Riggs must deliver the book into the hands of the one person who wants absolutely nothing to do with it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
