Here Goes Nothing
(eAudiobook)
Description
A wildly inventive, savagely funny, and topical novel about love, mortality, and the afterlife, by the Booker-shortlisted author of A Fraction of the Whole. Angus is a reformed ne'er-do-well looking forward to the birth of his first child when he's murdered by a man who is in love with his pregnant wife Gracie. Having never believed in God, heaven or hell, Angus finds himself in the afterlife-a place that provides more questions than answers. As a worldwide pandemic finally reaches the shores of Australia, the afterlife starts to get very crowded and Angus finds a way to reconnect with his wife Gracie and maybe even seek revenge on his murderer … Here Goes Nothing is a novel of exhilarating originality and scope about birth, death, and everything in between and after by "a writer of prodigious talent"- Peter Carey, that contains a vision of the afterlife that rivals Dante's Divine Comedy and George Saunders' Lincoln in the Bardo, and the Emmy-nominated The Good Place. "Toltz's wit and black humor transform a morbid premise into a rollicking ride. The result is an audaciously creative imagining of what awaits after death."
