If you were given a few months to live, what would you do? What, if anything, would be worth doing? Would you just curl up in a ball and give up? Would you drink or drug yourself into a stupor? Would you rage against the unfairness of it all? Or would you write a book about your life and try to make sense of it all while you still can? What would it be like to visit your favourite places and do your favourite things for what you know is the last time? Find out in this tragi-comic journey through a life that is about to end, in the words of the person who has to live it. With social commentary, existential and psychological exploration of the human condition, and a few jokes to lighten the mood, this novel follows one man for his entire life.
