Publisher's Synopsis
'The person you love is 72.8% water and it hasn't rained for weeks.' From there, Johan Harstad's debut tells the story of Mattias, a 30-something Norwegian gardener who idolises Buzz Aldrin. Following a series of personal and professional disasters, Mattias finds himself lying on a rain-soaked road in the desolate Faroe Islands with a wad of bills in his pocket and no memory of how he got there. Then a truck approaches, driven by a troubled, fantastic man with an offer that will shortly change Mattias's life in an epic, pop-saturated odyssey.
