What would you do, given the second chance of a lifetime?
Like most men in their thirties, Lazarus has plans that don't involve dying. He's busy. Life is good.
But he can't cheat destiny.
Lazarus dies. Jesus weeps. Lazarus returns to life. This part we all know.
But as Lazarus is about to find out, returning from the dead isn't easy. He thinks he wants a second chance at life, but what will he do when he gets it?
Richard Beard’s most recent book is Acts of the Assassins, which was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize.
In the twenty years since his first book he has published critically acclaimed novels and narrative non-fiction, including Becoming Drusilla, the story of how a friendship between two men was changed by a gender transition.
He was formerly Director of the National Academy of Writing in London, and is now a Visiting Professor at the University of Tokyo and has a Creative Writing Fellowship at the University of East Anglia. He is an optimistic opening batsman for the Authors Cricket Club.
