Today, the Spotlight shines On Gabriel Kennedy, the author of the forthcoming biography Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson, which hits shelves in February 2024 from Strange Attractor/ MIT Press. 

The subject of that book, Robert Anton Wilson, wrote 35 books and over 1,500 published articles. His more well-known works include The Illuminatus! Trilogy, co-authored with Robert Shea, The Schrödinger’s Cat Trilogy, The Cosmic Trigger Trilogy, Prometheus Rising, Quantum Psychology and The New Inquisition. Bob has been described as futurist, author, lecturer, stand-up comic, guerrilla ontologist, psychedelic magician, outer head of the Illuminati, quantum psychologist, Taoist sage, Discordian Pope, Struthian politician and was perhaps all and none of the above.

Before writing Chapel Perilous, Gabriel spent years as the hip-hop artist known as Prop Anon, producing music, videos, and street art under that name. Later, Prop started a doom metal band called 'Hail Eris!' releasing the eponymous album, Hail Eris! which can be found on bandcamp.com along with other Prop Anon music. As a writer, Gabriel's work has been published by BoingBoing.net, Mondo2000.com, and his own websites Prop-anon.com and chapelperilous.us, as well as his Medium page, Propanon99.medium.com and Bonus Tracks, the official blog of Spotlight On.
