À propos de cet audio

It’s okay if you don’t believe in the afterlife. The people who live there don’t believe in you, either.

What if you went to heaven and no one there believed in Earth? This is the question at the heart of Beforelife, a satirical novel that follows the postmortem adventures of widower Ian Brown, a man who dies in the book’s first moments and finds himself in an afterlife where no one else believes in “pre-incarnation”. The other residents of the afterlife have mysteriously forgotten their premortem lives and think that anyone who remembers a mortal life is suffering from a mental disorder called the “Beforelife Delusion”.

None of that really matters to Ian. All he wants to do is reunite with Penelope, his wife. Scouring the afterlife for any sign of her, Ian accidentally winds up on a quest to prove that the beforelife is real. This puts him squarely into the crosshairs of some of history’s greatest heroes and villains, all of whom seem unhealthily obsessed with erasing Ian’s memories and preventing him from reminding anyone of their premortem lives. Only by staying a step ahead of his enemies can Ian hope to keep his much-needed marbles, find Penelope, and restore the public’s memories of the beforelife.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Finally, a hitchhiker's guide to the hereafter. Making a debut as stellar as it is hilarious, Randal Graham proves himself a true Canuckian heir to the magnificently pun-happy merriment of literary pranksters Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Jasper Fforde. At once a raucous comedy, thrilling adventure, and meta-commentary on the nature of storytelling, Beforelife is an afterlife to die for.” (Corey Redekop, author of Husk)

A smart, funny, fast-paced novel that will appeal to fans of Douglas Adams among others. Randal’s keen intellect is evident throughout, as is his penchant for wry observation. An amazing first novel by an academic who makes the transition from legal scholar to storyteller appear seamless.

Brilliant first novel

Bizarre, even the author would say so. If bizarre is the word I am thinking of.

A little long-winded but worth it for the clever turn of phrases and chuckle worthy analogies throughout! Great performance and a fun, action-packed ride! 👏

clever!

Really well written, fantastic wordplay. starting the second book now. Reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD

Delightful sense of humour in a witty and sometimes intellectual way.
For me it was a mix of Douglas Adams and P. G. Woodhouse. I was not surprised when one of the main characters (who sounds like Bertie Wooster actually called someone Jeeves and voila proved me right). Totally delightful. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series- "Afterlife Crisis".

delightful
