Bliss

Work:: Bliss (S2082507745)

Peter Carey's sardonic novel Bliss charts the escapades and misadventures of Harry Joy, an advertising executive who, having survived a near-death experience, gets sucked into a Kafkaesque routine of increasing bizarreness. Is he really in hell? In a place where his wife is constantly unfaithful, his son is a drug dealer and his daughter offers sexual favours to pay for her narcotic needs?

Music	Brett Dean
Lyrics	Amanda Holden (based on the novel by Peter Carey)
