Here Goes Nothing Summary

Here Goes Nothing by Steve Toltz

A GUARDIAN SATURDAY MAGAZINE, TIMES SATURDAY REVIEW and IRISH TIMES Book of 2022 pick

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
