Synopsis "Life on Other Planets"
Confronting the darker forces concealed beneath the trifling disputes and sore spots of life after death, this blackly comic book is storytelling under siege. Hilarious and unsettling by turns, Life on Other Planets unravels the mysteries of a family irreparably divided by alienation, entitlement and loss.\n\n\x27When I was fourteen, my family had a nervous breakdown…\x27\n\nIt is 1997. To himself, Benjamin Carter is a thing drifted somehow out of its orbit. With the news that Great Aunt Pearl is dead, his summer is looking like yet another non\-starter. There’s his summons to the clearance of her ramshackle house. His dad’s awkward pep talks. A toxic cocktail of over\-zealous aunts and uncles. And then there’s the Church of the Holy Heavens―the space cult that’s been wooing Pearl for all she’s worth.\n\nIt was supposed to be simple: grieve, junk, funeral, home. But from the side\-lines, Ben can see the cracks starting to show. When the search for a will goes off\-beam, the Carters find themselves under siege by the property they all crave. Alone in the house together, the Carters’ lives lock into something unrecognisable and their pursuit of Aunt Pearl’s not\-quite\-worldly goods entirely consumes them.\n\nAs Ben comes face\-to\-face with death, a new person emerges: curious, uninhibited, free\-falling. In Life on Other Planets, Matt Cook has created a startling portrait of a young man caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Comedies of English manners have rarely been darker.
