Here Goes Nothing | Steve Toltz

1 post | 3 read | 4 to read

A firecracker of a novel by the Booker-shortlisted author of A Fraction of the Whole - a scathingly funny and affecting tale of life, death, love and the questionable existence of God. 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. 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 . . . 'What a joy to surrender oneself to a writer of such prodigious talent' Peter Carey

Here Goes Nothing | Steve Toltz

so-so

Few theories about what happens to us after death can be as grimly depressing as the shabby, overcrowded, bureaucratically mismanaged version of the afterlife that Toltz conjures up here. Often very funny but I felt it rather ran out of steam towards the end.

Clare-Dragonfly Sounds like the afterlife in Beetlejuice! 3y
