About this listen
For fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and P. G. Wodehouse.
Where do you go after you die? Detroit.
Something’s rotten in the afterlife. At least that’s how it seems to Rhinnick Feynman, the one man who perceives that someone in the afterlife is tugging at history’s threads and retroactively unraveling the past. Doing his best to navigate a netherworld in which history won’t stop changing for the worse, Rhinnick sets off on a quest to put things right.
This would be a good deal easier if Rhinnick didn’t believe he was a character in a novel and that the author was changing the past through editorial revision. And it’d be better if Rhinnick didn’t find himself facing off against Isaac Newton, Jack the Ripper, ancient Egyptians, a pack of frenzied Napoleons, and the prophet Norm Stradamus. Come to think of it, it’d be nice if Rhinnick could manage to steer clear of the afterlife’s mental health establishment and a bevy of unexpected fiancées.
Undeterred by these terrors, Rhinnick recognizes himself as the Man the Hour Produced and the only one equipped to outwit the forces of science and mental health.
©2020 Randal Graham (P)2020 ECW PressWhat the critics say
“Filled with wordplay to die for, Randal Graham's latest dizzying, irresistible life-after-death satire tackles perennial existential questions with humor and hunger.” (Foreword Reviews)
“Fans of wacky doings and zippy dialogue are sure to be entertained.” (Publishers Weekly)
“When I worked with Randal Graham at the Goodmans law firm he showed few signs of zaniness, let alone P.G. Wodehouse on steroids. But zounds he shows all of the above and more in the story of Rhinnick and Vera. We are all better for The Other Side of Randal.” (Bob Rae, 21st premier of Ontario and author of From Protest to Power)

I looked forward to listening every night!
I read the book and listened to the audible version. The narrator really brings the book to life in an amazing way. Listening to it felt like listening to a radio play. Everything was on point.
Satire, dry wit and social commentary with a Douglas Adams, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy type of vibe. The book is a fun and wild ride and the sequel to his first book BEFORELIFE - but you don’t have to read the first to enjoy the second.
Despite the title, the content does not reflect a reglious belief. Rich in story and witty wordplay, the story is told in the first person by Rhinnick Feyeman and his adventure in the afterlife. I enjoyed taking a break from covid and getting lost in this fantasy.

Good story too much comic relief.
Good story. But main character could get annoying at times. Overdrawn monologues that fit better as comic relief in story as in before life.
Good narration
