Will Self's hilarious novel about the afterlife. A 65-year-old American matriarch, lying in the cancer ward of a London hospital, is livid that there is so little time left and "so many people still to disparage." She gets her come-uppance, once she discovers the incredible banality of life after death. "Scathingly entertaining." –The Times
