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!
