About this product
Product Information
A Times (of London) Best Fiction Book of 2022 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 .

Reviews
"...Clever lines drop down on these pages like flowers thrown on a casket...[a] zany, increasingly dark comedy..." -- The Washington Post "Toltz... is smart, imaginative and funny, unafraid to lob a literary grenade into hard-held beliefs of humankind. He uses Here Goes Nothing as a jumping-off point to parody the perversity and stubbornness of human nature and to highlight our uneasy relationship with mortality. Think of it as a comic, modern-day Divine Comedy with more intercourse and fewer opportunities to reach Paradise." -- The Star Tribune "Enjoyable as social commentary, a philosophical exploration of life's meaning, an inventive, pop-culture-referencing mystery-of-sorts or simply a good yarn, "Here Goes Nothing" makes for rich, reflective, involving reading." --The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Surreal, sharply funny and as dark as the grave. Fans of noir fiction and quirky thrillers ... will dig right in." -- Shelf Awareness "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." -- Publishers Weekly "Toltz ( Quicksand , 2015) revels in the irony of an afterlife skeptic forced into a ghastly second act. Angus' narration is thick with zingy one-liners pointing up the absurdity of it all... an exploration of big feels, among them the slow-spreading dread of societal cataclysm, the grief of watching one's beloved embrace a new partner, and the fear that now may be as good as it gets." -- Booklist "Outlandishly satisfying and timely...this is highly intelligent reading of the tallest order with much to unpack." -- Bookreporter "Here Goes Nothing is a thought-provoking work that's perfect for anyone whose dim view of our planetary existence is tempered by hope in something better than a doctrinaire ending." -- Criminal Element, "Toltz... is smart, imaginative and funny, unafraid to lob a literary grenade into hard-held beliefs of humankind.
