Here Goes Nothing
Um þessa hljóðbók
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 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.
