Here Goes Nothing Av Steve Toltz

<p><b>''A morbidly two-fisted tour de force '' <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><b><br>A firecracker of a novel by the Booker-shortlisted author of <i>A Fraction of the Whole</i> - a scathingly funny and affecting tale of life, death, love and the questionable existence of God.<br></b><br>Angus Mooney is not happy - he''s been murdered, cut off in the prime of his life. He feels humiliated - he''s never even believed in an afterlife. (How wrong he''d been). He''s confused - death has provided more questions than answers. And he desperately misses his audacious and fiery wife, Gracie, who''s expecting their first child. <br><br>The only upside is that Angus has found a way to see what his murderer is up to, and how Gracie is faring. The downside: Gracie and his murderer are getting uncomfortably close, and a worldwide pandemic means the afterlife is about to get very crowded . . .<br><br><b>''What a joy to surrender oneself to a writer of such prodigious talent'' Peter Carey</b></p>
