Synopsis:

The first novel by Peter Carey, published originally in 1981.

For thirty-nine years Harry Joy has been the quintessential good guy. But one morning Harry has a heart attack in his front garden, and for nine minutes he becomes a dead guy. Although he is resuscitated, he will never be the same. Bliss is an astonishing, darkly funny novel which explores how death can be a necessary prelude to life.
