Beschreibungen
Maurice Saatchi is dead.
He is standing in front of the Gates of Heaven. Arrival halls worse than Heathrow. Queues. Overcrowding. A tidal wave of Paradise seekers. ID scans. Voice and facial recognition. X-ray examinations. Background checks. It all seems like a bad dream.
His tests expose abnormalities. He is charged with multiple breaches of immigration law and detained pending a full jury trial.
The verdict will reveal the biggest secret of all time: why some people go to Heaven and others to Hell.
Do Not Resuscitate is a bold statement. Maurice Saatchi, a towering figure in the worlds of business and politics, frames his unsparing self-portrait with the conceit of a celestial trial in which his application to pass through the Gates of Heaven is heard before a jury featuring luminaries like Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, Chairman Mao, and Margaret Thatcher. In seeking admission to Heaven, Saatchi offers a defence like no other. .
"I relished every page."
— Elton John
"Surreal and insightful."
— John Major
"A significant work. Beautiful and profound."
—The Dean of Westminster
"An act of enduring and boundless love."
— Michael Dobbs
"A Jeu d'Esprit. Fascinating. Deeply moving!"
— David Hare
