Received an honourable mention on the Globe and Mail's top first fiction for 2008
Shari
Lapena takes the wit of David Sedaris and the outrageousness of Douglas
Coupland to create a dark, hilarious and wildly inventive contemporary
comedy about how the past can come back to haunt you. Literally.
In Things Go Flying,
Harold Walker is desperately average and listless at mid-life, stemming
in part from the abrupt death of his one-time best friend, Tom.
Harold's wife Audrey, an increasingly frustrated housewife and mother to
their two teenage sons, is a control freak silently harbouring an
explosive secret.
Things go flying in the Walker household when Harold's
long-deceased mother comes back to haunt them.
Harold,
who has made a practice of avoiding things all his life, must confront
two problems - how to find meaning in this life, and how to come to grips
with the mostly terrifying idea that life just might go on forever!
