Publisher Description

For thirty-nine years Harry Joy has been the quintessential good guy. But one morning Harry has a heart attack on his suburban front lawn, and, for the space of nine minutes, he becomes a dead guy. And although he is resuscitated, he will never be the same. For, as Peter Carey makes abundantly clear in this darkly funny novel, death is sometimes a necessary prelude to real life.
   Part The Wizard of Oz, part Dante's Inferno, and part Australian Book of the Dead, Bliss is a triumph of uninhibited storytelling from a writer of extravagan gifts.

call me your baby ,

A challenging read

Often times this was hard to follow, and some of it would have been better leafy unsaid. I did like the moral of the story that a near death experience can change your outlook on life. Finding his bliss was just what Harry did in the end.

Ugh ...

Interesting but so much for me. Stopped reading at the brother/sister sexual favor in exchange for drugs scene ... no thanks.
