Description Peer Gynt is a bad boy with big dreams and a lust for life. And women. Banished for seducing a bride on her wedding day, he wanders the world from Arabia to America in search of love, fame and fortune. After a lifetime of exotic encounters and epic adventures, real or imagined, he makes his way home to confront his past.

Adapted from Ibsen's play. A meta narrative - Kent has written himself into the action, sharing the limelight with the main character, and venting his personal issues. He has also co-opted Ibsen as a character.
