Bliss is Peter Carey’s acclaimed first novel, a darkly comic Australian fable about Harry Joy, a successful advertising executive who suffers a heart attack, briefly dies, and wakes convinced that his ordinary life is actually Hell. Surreal, satirical, and sharply observed, the novel explores family, consumer culture, corruption, death, and the possibility of redemption.
